BIANCO DI COLLIO
2008 Colli Orientali del Friuli Visintini
| Grapes | Friulano, Pinot Bianco |
| Colour | White |
| Origin | Italy, Friuli Venezia Giulia |
| Sub-district | Collio |
| ABV | 14% |
This blend of Friulano, Pinot Bianco and Picolit is the only wine in the range which sees any wood, with some 10% of the blend given a short period in oak, only to add an extra dimension to the wine. A smoky nose is followed by an explosive palate of exotic fruit with lovely weight and texture. With great length this finishes with fresh, bright acidity that keep it very drinkable indeed. L&S (Sept 2010)

Azienda Agricola Visintini
Founded in 1973 by Andrea Visintini, this twenty-four hectare estate has vineyards in Collio, Collio Orientali and Grave del Friuli, and is now controlled by the new generation of Oliviero and his twin sisters Cinzia and Palmira. The wines are beautifully made, each with wonderful expression of both the grape and the 'terroir'. Vineyard practices are now entirely biodynamic, and certified this year. These wines are also extraordinarily good value in what is generally a highly priced region.
With the 2014 vintage the family have unveiled the brilliant new labels for each of the wines - with the beautiful botanical drawings of flavours or fruits that relate to the flavour profiles in each different varietal. The wines are great too - in a far from straightforward vintage - beautiful fruit definition and lovely bright minerality.
