Mario Schiopetto, Collio Friulano 2021
Description
Tasting notes
Reviewed by: James Suckling
White peaches and cooked apples with flint and matchstick undertones. Some iron shavings, too. Full-bodied, yet compacted, tight and fresh. Very minerally, with dried-peach, citrus and mineral undertones and a bright finish. Very solid. Drink or hold.
