2019 Studio di Bianco, Borgo del Tiglio

This wine is comprised of three different varietals from the 5 ha Ruttars vineyard. The Sauvignon is left slightly longer to be able to be harvested alongside the later ripening Riesling and Friulano, allowing for the typicity of the vintage to show through as well as the pronounced profiles of the three distinct grapes. The final blend being an approximate make up of 50% Friulano, 25% Sauvignon Blanc and 25% Riesling, it’s typically aged in neutral oak for up to 10 months. “Before bottling the nose was very balanced between the floral notes of Riesling and the citrusy/peachy notes from Sauvignon, with Friulano contributing to the mineral accents. The wine has a lot of acidity that keeps it nervous, balanced by the zestiness typical from Sauvignon and Friulano, and it will probably be the one needing more time to be fully expressive.”
