The Riserva from Zuani is the top of the crop which spends nearly a year in barrel. This small production wine is a rare treat. Bright straw yellow, shading into pale gold. The characterful nose reveals subtle hints of toastiness and vanilla with distinct hints of citrus fruit. An impressive palate, with good textural weight but underpinned by a great acidity. With well-extracted fruit, thanks in part to the later harvest. Finishes long and gently spicy. Impressive. L&S (Jul 2023)

Equal blend of Friulano, Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio and Sauvignon Blanc. Barrel-fermented, one-third new. 12 months on lees and two years in bottle. The oak gives an overlay of light spice and mealy notes. Fresh citrus foundation with an attractive herbal freshness. Very youthful. The oak is just slightly intrusive on the finish, for me, adding a bitter aftertaste Drinking range: 2024 - 2027 Rating: 16 Julia Harding MW, www.JancisRobinson.com (Jul 2024)
Zuani
Just over 12 years ago Patrizia Felluga left the family business in order to buy her own property in the heart of the Collio and set about her ambition of making a 'terroir' based wine. Working now with her two children, Antonio and Caterina - she is creating beautiful, crystaline wines with great character. Her seven hectares are planted with fifteen to forty year old Friulano, Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay and Sauvignon vines, from which she produces just two wines, each the same blend, one of which is oaked. Each variety is vinified separately in stainless steel and blended to make wines which are wonderfully expressive of the vineyard.
