Colli Orientali Bianco Sharis

  • Classification: IGT
  • Grape Variety: Chardonnay & Ribolla Gialla
  • Alcohol: 12.5%
  • Volume: 750ml

Blending grape varieties in Sharis reconciles the culturally acquired expectations of the local consumer with those of the international wine lover, forming a link between Friuli and the rest of the world. From a winemaking point of view, blending gives the wine balance and complexity. On its own, Ribolla Gialla has aromatics that are not particularly assertive, but its contribution is important, for it gives the blend texture, freshness and vivacity. Pale canary yellow with light golden hues in colour, it is fruity, fresh with notes of pineapple, citron, peach, white flowers and hints of fresh spices. The palate is lively, fresh, excellent balance of acidity; long and persistent aftertaste with evident notes of citrus and aromatic herbs. Serve with seafood pastas, crustaceans and grilled fish.

  • Classification: DOCG
  • Grape Variety: Friulano Blend
  • Alcohol: 13%
  • Volume: 750ml

An unspecified blend of Friulano, Pinot Bianco, Sauvignon Blanc, Malvasia and Ribolla Gialla, this medium golden wine flaunts an intense bouquet of pit and tropical fruits, buttressed with orange blossom, jasmine, almonds and dried herbs. Medium-to-full-bodied, freshly acidic, minimally oaked and with well-integrated alcohol (listed as 13.5%), it delivers flavors in line with the nose, adding distinct mineral notes and a touch of spice. Solid on the mid-palate, it concludes long and crisp. This is a very impressive Italian white that is well-worthy of its sticker. Benefitting from an hour of aeration, it may be one of those rare whites that merits decantation (especially if served immediately).
