Wine Details
Price:
$29.00 per bottle
Description:
Made in the spirit of the “Super Friulian” white blends of Northeast Italy, our 2003 Vino Bianco is dry, complex, aromatic full-bodied and unique. This well-balanced white wine combines the best of four varieties and alternates between flavors of tree fruit, citrus fruit, stone fruit and tropical fruit with strains of both high-toned mineral and base-toned earth components running through. This year’s blend is composed of 29% Sauvignon Blanc fermented in stainless steel and older oak barrels, 28% Chardonnay (Dijon 96 clone) fermented in a stainless steel tank, 28% Pinot Grigio fermented in stainless steel barrels, 10% Chardonnay (“Musque” clone) fermented in new French oak, and 5% Tocai Friulano fermented in four year old French oak. The Sauvignon Blanc and Musque Chardonnay are from the North Fork, and the Pinot Grigio, Tocai and Dijon Chardonnay are from our Estate Vineyards here on the South Fork; this is why the wine carries a general Long Island appellation. All these different sources and ingredients – vineyards, grape varieties, fermentation vessels, type of oak, time on lees – helps us blend a wine of character, balance, finesse and complexity.
