“Lis” Bianco Venezia Giulia IGT 2016

Lis Neris | Friuli
Lis Neris s.s. Agr. | Via Gavinana 5 | IT 34070 S. Lorenzo Isontino

Lis is a blend 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 flavourful lead from the Sauvignon Bianco. All elements of this cuvée are on par and masterfully blended on the palate, the mouthfeel is soft and round. This complex and at the same time elegant white makes with its subtle pressure every amount of desire for more and draws every Friuli fan inevitably in its spell. SUPERIORE.DE

"Sparkling straw yellow with light green nuances. Multi-layered nose with notes of kitchen herbs, lots of tarragon and marjoram, then rich yellow fruit notes. Sparkles on the palate, emphasizes saline notes, shows lots of yellow fruit notes on the back end, beeswax on 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

"This extraordinary blend of Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc is beautifully fresh, fragrant and lively. The Lis Neris 2016 Lis is packed with so much purity and personality, making this wine the protagonist when cast opposite a neutral dish of pasta or risotto with scampi. This balanced vintage shows its strengths with vertical intensity and an absolutely smooth and polished delivery. I just love this wine—and its relatively affordable price for the type of craftsmanship it represents." Robert Parker
