Tasting - Beltrame Friulano

Name: Beltrame Friulano

Variety: 100% Tocai Friulano

Region: Friuli

Country: Italy

Year: 2009

Price: $15 (retail)


Vintage Cellar review: 100% Tocai Friulano Straw-coloured yellow with a pale green tint express an intense, delicately aromatic and floral bouquet.  The flavour is dry, soft slightly fruity, with slightly bitter nuance in its almond aftertaste, and suggestion of peach.


My review: This is a very oaky, woody, smoky, cigar box aroma wine on the nose.  It's very pleasant actually; not too much of the wood aroma, but just enough to give it great structure on the nose.  It is pretty dry and light in body, again with the woody, oaky, and smoky flavors coming through very prominently.  It also gives hints of earthy and floral flavors. 

I had this wine without food.
