We just tasted the 2022 Friulano from Volpe Pasini, and it's a great wine for summer drinking. The 2022 Volpe Pasini Friuli Colli Orientali Friulano originates from one of Friuli's oldest and most respected estates, with winemaking records dating back to the 16th century. Situated in the Colli Orientali hills near the Slovenian border, Volpe Pasini farms its vineyards sustainably, taking full advantage of the region's marl and sandstone soils that give Friulano its hallmark freshness and mineral drive. The 2022 vintage was warm but balanced, yielding whites with excellent ripeness and lively acidity. Fermented in stainless steel to preserve varietal purity, this Friulano shows vibrant aromas of pear, white peach, almond, and fresh herbs, with a crisp, saline edge and a clean, lingering finish. A benchmark example of Friulano that delivers both regional authenticity and outstanding value, it's a versatile wine ideal for seafood, light pastas, or simply enjoying as a refreshing aperitif!
James Suckling 94 pts! White peaches, sliced pears and white flowers on the nose. Medium- to full-bodied and lightly exotic, with lots of flavor and intensity. Crushed stones. Made from vines planted in the 1970s. Only 6,000 bottles made. Drink or hold.
