87 points Wine Spectator: "This smoky white offers hints of fresh straw, hot stone and Granny Smith apple. Light-bodied and crisp, with a mouthwatering finish. Drink now. (10/15/11)"
Producer notes: "This Pinot Grigio appears a rich straw yellow with shimmering, coppery highlights. Ripe tropical fruit, along with apple and pear, create a rich, generous bouquet, while the palate is refined, smooth, and pleasantly tangy. The finish seems near endless, showcasing abundant, crisp-edged fruit."

Producer notes: "Sourced predominately from the Friuli Venezia Giulia with a portion from Trentino and the Colli Euganei in the Veneto. Lovely aromas of peach, apricot and mandarin orange entice the nose, while the slightly off-dry palate has bright acidity to make this wine so refreshing. Alcohol 8.25%."

Producer notes: "100% Friulano, an ancient local grape of Friuli. Dry white wine with a delicate bouquet with hints of bitter almonds, lightly as a young plant, after a slight refinement in the bottle takes on remarkable nuances of licorice and elder with a perfect balance between the nose and palate. Pairing: Excellent as an aperitif served with appetizers, meats, omelets, risotto with herbs, young cheeses."

Staff notes: "Pinot Grigio haters - listen up. This unusual Friulian blend of Pinot Grigio and Verduzzo from top Amarone producer Masi will have you singing a different tune. Picked and vinified separately, the Pinot Grigio, which accounts for 75% of the blend, is fermented in stainless tanks without full malolactic fermentation, yielding a more crisp, brighter wine. The Verduzzo component is further ripened on racks for three weeks before vinification in barrique, a Venetian style called 'appassimento.' The assemblage results in a wine that's fresh, yet complex, crisp and mineral yet full-bodied and rich. It's interesting even when young. So branch out! You'll be delighted you did." -Lily Davis, WHWC
Not yet reviewed; 2009 vintage rated 87 points by Wine Enthusiast: "Pinot Grigio and Verduzzo are blended to shape a fresh and luminous white wine that would pair with seafood or light chicken dishes. The wine is clean and sharp on the palate with zesty acidity on the close."

Producer notes: "Typical aromas reminiscent of fresh almonds, walnuts, candy and clovers. The taste has a velvet soft texture due to its inherent low acidity with flavors that reminds quince, curry and bitter almonds. Less intense then Ronco delle Cime but the fruit opens up earlier. Food pairing: Perfect as aperitif, or with asparagus soup, prosciutto crudo and risotto with porcini mushrooms."
Not yet reviewed; 2009 vintage rated 87 points by Wine Spectator: "This medium-bodied white shows creamy flavors of lemon meringue pie, white peach and vanilla. There's subtle, tangy acidity, and a lingering hint of smoke on the modest finish. Drink now. 100 cases imported."

Producer notes: "The bouquet is typical of this grape and particularly intense. Its aroma profile is complex with fruity, floral and spicy aromas that show a special finesse. Floral aromas are reminiscent of wild rose petals, anisette, cotton candy, fresh bread crust and vanilla. The taste is fresh and clean; it shows persistence in the aftertaste and good harmony. Food pairing: Pasta with zucchini, pasta with mazzancolle, raw fish."
