This hard-to-find Italian white from Friuli, if you can get it, is well worth searching out.I had no idea, until a couple of years ago, how well some whites can age.
I've had whites from Western Sicily that were 20 years old. Others from the Loire region in France almost as old.
Champagne, famously, can age very well. But other whites don't usually, as I suppose, most reds don't either.
Wine-searcher.com has a little information on this wine here. And if you are really keen you seem to be able to buy it in HK dollars here.
This one was a beauty. It opened up after 30 minutes in the bottle once opened, and has a richness and a texture you just don't seem to get outside Burgundy in younger whites (in my limited experience)
More reviews are here. I'll be seeking out some older vintages from this under-rated region.
We tried it at the ever excellent 10 Greek St in London, which has the best value wine menu that I have found in London (make sure you ask for the 'other' wine list)
