Borgo del Tiglio Collio 2017

A nice choice for a buttery lobster, the Borgo del Tiglio 2017 Collio Friulano (white label) is a terrific wine that offers an authentic sense of place and draws a precise portrait of this versatile, indigenous grape. There's so much transparency here, you can almost smell the compacted sandstone characteristic of Friuli's Ponca soils and the soft breezes that bring salinity and wild aromas along from the Adriatic.

The biggest asset of this wine is its startling freshness and liveness. Citrus, pear and quince are delivered over a mid-weight, creamy mouthfeel.
