The flagship for the winery, this Friulian white consists of sauvignon, chardonnay, ribola gialla, malvasia and picolit. Daybright golden hue, an expansive band of stone fruit and white florals emerge on the nose. Persistent citrus, pear and stone fruit notes run through the palate with grace, picking up mouthwatering acidity and minerality on the back end. Opulent without being cumbersome, this effort akin to Here's your answer to Grand Cru white Burgundy will certainly put a smile on your face.

The 2008 Vintage Tunina is terrific. The wine's trademark expansive bouquet and generous fruit are beautifully balanced by a vein of minerality that is the hallmark of this cool year. All of the elements come together beautifully in the glass as the 2008 Vintage Tunina shows off layers of succulent peaches, pears, apricots, flowers and mint, along with hints of sweetness from the late-harvested fruit that is such a big component of the wine's signature style. Vintage Tunina is Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Ribolla Gialla, Malvasia Istriana and Picolit. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2018. -Antonio Galloni

Dry and smoky, this is enriched by a hint of crystallized honey that accents flavors of spiced apple, apricot gelée, salted butter and toasted brioche. Well-balanced, with a lovely texture and a lingering, minerally finish. Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Ribolla Gialla, Malvasia Istriana and Picolit. Drink now through 2016. -AN
