La Tunella Colli Orientali del Friuli Biancosesto 2016

Colour

Straw yellow with bright greenish highlights.

Bouquet

A wine of great substance, with a refined and elegant bouquet of custards, vanilla and acacia blossoms, intermingling with the vivacious fresh notes of fruit and white flowers.

Flavour

The palate opens with a delicate, full character, which is both supple and sapid at the same time. The distinguishing characteristics of its individual varieties stand out in its persistent finish, with a slight almond note from the Friulano and the fresh sensations of the Ribolla.

Pairing

A great wine for all courses: either for appetizers or pairing mushroom or fish dishes; excellent along with shellfish, crustaceans and oven baked fish.
