Introduction:
The 2022 Gradis'ciutta Friulano is a distinguished white wine from the Collio region in Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy. Crafted by winemaker Robert Princic, this wine showcases the unique characteristics of the indigenous Friulano grape, reflecting the rich terroir of the area.

Terroir:
Sourced from vineyards situated in the hilly terrains of Collio, the vines thrive in 'ponca' soils—a combination of marl and sandstone—which impart a distinct minerality to the wine. The region's climate, influenced by the Adriatic Sea and the Julian Alps, provides a balance of warm days and cool nights, contributing to the grape's optimal ripening and the wine's aromatic complexity.

Appearance:
Bright straw yellow hue, indicating its freshness and vibrancy.

Nose:
Aromas of yellow peach, iodine, and white rose, complemented by a touch of savory pepper, offering a complex and inviting bouquet.

Palate:
Silky textures with flavors of ripe orchard fruits and sweet spices swirling throughout. The balanced acidity provides a harmonious mouthfeel, while the mineral undertones reflect the unique Collio terroir.

Finish:
A long, clean finish with hints of candied citrus and minty herbs, leaving the mouth watering for more.

Overall Impression:
The 2022 Gradis'ciutta Friulano exemplifies the winery's dedication to producing wines that authentically express their terroir. Its harmonious blend of fruit flavors, balanced acidity, and mineral complexity make it a versatile companion to a variety of dishes, from seafood to white meats and fresh cheeses.
