TN: 2007 Ronco dei Tassi "Friulano"

  • 2007 Ronco dei Tassi Colli Orientali del Friuli Tocai Friulano - Italy, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Colli Orientali del Friuli (5/29/2009)
    This was ordered out of a carafe to accompany our salad at Gialina in the Glen Park neighborhood of SF. The salad was a wonderful Star Route Farms Arugula salad w/ avocado, beets, goat cheese and pistachios. Perfectly dressed and very fresh/tasty.

The wine itself was wonderful with loads of tropical fruit, a definitive honey/pineapple note with some minerality. Very nice and a new producer for me that I will definitely seek out in the future. (89 pts.)

I wonder if there is a niche market for that stuff in Wisconsin? Ronco dei Tassi means “farm of the badgers” and there are two on the label…
