Lis Neris

Pinot Grigio has been at home in the Isonzo for 140 years now. With the necessary sensitivity, it develops a great deal of elegance and structure and can almost be described as autochthonous here. It is not surprising that Alvaro Pecorari has taken this grape variety to his heart. A white wine rich in finesse with a floral bouquet and a fine peach note. On the palate it is multi-layered and quite complex, the 8-month yeast storage gives it depth, length and a good ageing potential. SUPERIORE.DE

A successful, straightforward interpretation of the French grape variety, the signature of the Pecorari family is also clearly identifiable here. In a medium-bodied style, it convinces with a lively lightness and a refined, mineral taste of bananas and tropical fruits. Aromatic complexity also in the finish, never losing its precision and personality. The 8-month yeast lagering gives it depth, length and a good ageing potential. SUPERIORE.DE

Lis Neris' Sauvignon Bianco is expressive, polished and offers an unhindered view of the grape's natural aromas of citrus, tropical fruits and some gooseberry. Fresh, complex and never broad on the palate, it is highly drinkable and will delight lovers of the bouquet grape variety. Its 8-month yeast lagering gives it depth, length and a good ageing potential. SUPERIORE.DE

The Pecorari family's passion for varietal wines is best represented by the Pinot Grigio Gris, aged on the fine yeast with bâtonnage for 11 months. Fermented in oak, this Pinot Grigio offers an exciting and complex bouquet of white peach, citrus, flint, crushed oyster shells, white rose petals and notes of acacia honey. The well-proportioned acidity, the fresh taste and the wonderful depth and tension make it easy to see that the Pinot Grigio takes an absolutely special position at Lis Neris every year.

Shiny, rich yellow with silver reflections. On the nose it has a smoky and mineral note, with a rich bouquet of mango, citrus fruit and asparagus. It shows its true class on the palate: wonderfully complex structure, lots of natural sweetness, refreshing acidity and a juiciness, power and length that can only be achieved by long yeast contact with simultaneous circulation. Very convincing, even engaging! SUPERIORE.DE

"Sparkling straw yellow with green notes. Intense nose of sage and tomato leaves, lots of gooseberry. Sparkling on the palate, nice play, juicy, very present fruit, lots of juice in the final." Falstaff

"Deep straw yellow. A big, full-bodied but fresh Sauvignon Blanc, with vibrant gooseberry and sage aromas and flavors. Finishes long with harmonious, zingy acidity and very good clarity." Vinous

"Some quite rich tropical-fruit aromas with grapefruit and lemon citrus played into a mix of herbal notes. The palate has a concentrated, juicy feel with plenty of textural layers." James Suckling

Bright yellow-green. Intense nose of orchard fruits, ripe peach, roasted nuts and some lemon mousse, rounded off with creamy vanilla. In the drink then very juicy, not too heavy, with salty elements and warm yellow fruit notes. Chardonnay made by Lis Neris is always a perfect pleasure and of lasting memory. Very elegant and with good storage and maturation potential through 11 months of ageing on the fine yeast. SUPERIORE.DE

Bright golden yellow. The nose opens with yellow fruits, summer ripened peach, pear and honeydew melon, as well as hints of mineral tones, ash and crushed flint. On the palate, Golden Delicious, pear and a certain creaminess, flanked by salty notes. The acidity is very well integrated, all in all a wonderful white wine of impressive depth and elegance.

Lis is a mixed set of Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc and is one of the top wines of the house. Wonderfully multi-layered in its aromas of citrus and passion fruit, yellow apple and an initially barely perceptible taste guide through the Sauvignon Bianco. All the elements of this cuvée are equal on the palate and masterfully wedded together, the mouthfeel is soft and round. This complex and at the same time elegant white with its subtle pressure makes you want more and inevitably fascinates every Friuli fan. SUPERIORE.DE

"Sparkling straw yellow with slight green nuances. Complex nose with notes of kitchen herbs, lots of tarragon and marjoram, then rich yellow fruit notes. Sparkling on the palate, accentuated salty notes, shows many yellow fruity notes in the back, beeswax in the final." Falstaff

"A floral nose with a fresh, perfumed delivery of tropical fruit like lychees and papaya. The palate follows in that vein with a fresh run of orchard and tropical fruit in crisp, mid-weight mode." James Suckling

"Medium deep straw yellow with golden highlights. Sweet spices, gooseberries, and fresh citrus fruits on the nose and in the mouth. Well balanced, fresh and penetrating, this finishes slightly tangy and zingy, with noteworthy lift for such a big, extracted white wine." Vinous

Confini can rightly be considered one of the best white wines of Friuli. This crescendo is an exciting blend of Gewürztraminer, Pinot Grigio and Riesling, with the strong aromas of Traminer clearly leading the way. Medium-bodied on the palate, creamy fullness and silky intensity, with hints of tropical fruits, gingerbread and exotic flowers. In the last third of the wine, the palate is again wide open, full of freshness and grace and with the lasting, deep impression that more than does justice to a top wine of this appellation. SUPERIORE.DE

"Intense, sparkling straw yellow with shades of green. Very intense and opulent nose, rich notes of rose petals, accompanied by lychees and lime blossoms, also good freshness. Spreads out powerfully on the palate, shows again a lot of rose petals, in addition rich notes of cloves and light pepper, fresh acidity gives tension, multi-layered." Falstaff

"Bright straw color. Perfumed, aromatic nose hints at Gewürztraminer, dominated by notes of rose petal, grapefruit, cinnamon and nutmeg. Rich, dense and complex, with bright juicy cut lifting the saline flavors of spices and ripe tropical fruit. Finishes long with a whiplash of harmonious acidity and repeating spice and intensely floral nuances. A knockout wine." Vinous
