This unique grape can trace its roots back to the Venetian republic. Imagine yourself a doge, enjoying not only the power of the world but the abundant fruits of the sea, sipping your own private stash of this fruity, dry and vibrant white wine. Harmonious and fresh, Malvasia suggests flavors of ripe apricots and white peaches; both brisk and sapid, it coats and enlivens the palate with a citrus finish. Wonderfully lively and fresh. 100% Malvasia Istriana, native to the Friuli hills.

lineup—and if you consider yourself a connoisseur of fine whites (or are
dead-tired of the same old Chardonnay) then these are wines you need on
your table immediately.

Alberice Friulano Friuli 2010
Italy
/
Friuli
An elegant, medium-bodied, refreshing white that is incredibly flexible at the table—as an aperitif, with light first courses, or even with more spicy, complex dishes (very successful with curries!) Aromas are delicately floral, with notes of acacia and almond blossoms; that same almond note follows on the spicy, slightly amaro finish.

Alberice Pinot Grigio Friuli 2010
Italy

Friuli
Not all Pinot Grigio is created equally—and our selection shows without question that when Pinot Grigio is treated as a queen and not just for simple quaffing, she is regal indeed. Grown in the foothills of the towering, snow-cooled Alps, this brisk and lively, lemon-rich white wine is full of flavors of crisp pears and green apples, plenty of Meyer lemon rind and fresh herbs.

Alberice Ribolla Gialla Friuli 2010
Italy
/
Friuli
Ribolla is perfect with appetizers, as its lemon core and zesty personality cleanses the palate and doesn't overwhelm food. Aromas of fresh almonds and honeydew melon show on the nose; the mouth is clean, brisk and very lively, with lemonade flavors and lots of chalky energy. White peaches offer a juicy finish.
