Winery Review: This unique Pizza Lovers White Wine was created by blending an internationally well-known grape such as Chardonnay with two traditional and characteristic varieties from Friuli, Ribolla Gialla and Friulano. Softness and harmony meld with the power and typical characteristics of the region. The three grape varieties are fermented into white wine separately before being combined into a single wine in different percentages depending on the year. The wine is stored in steel tanks for around 5 months to optimize the primary aromas of the grapes.
Wine Folly: One of the world’s most popular grapes, Chardonnay is made in a wide range of styles from sparkling Blanc de Blancs to rich, creamy white wines aged in oak.
Chardonnay pairs best with subtle spices and flavors. For example, try matching it with creamy, buttery flavors and soft textures. Lobster is a winning match.
My Review: The wine hits you with a scent of fruit qualities, which I would relate to pineapple as many describe this type of wine. The wine additionally smells a little sweet like honey. The wine was sweet though it wasn't sickly sweet, but rather a nice sweetness as it was a little acidic. I don't get as much as the other yellow apple, starfruit, or any other qualities as described in the wine folly. I tried it with pizza as in the name of the wine and it brought out a little more acidity though apart from that it didn't do much. It was mute and did not have much flavor overall. The wine wasn't bad but I wouldn't go out of my way to get it again.
I tasted this on its own and paired it with pizza.
