For two decades, the white indigenous cuvée Biancosesto has stood for one of the most original and stylistically distinctive interpretations of the Friulian white wine tradition – a poetic blend of Friulano and Ribolla Gialla from old vineyards around the historic settlement of Sesto al Reghena. The calcareous marl soils (Ponca) and the cool microclimate of the Colli Orientali provide this classic white wine with complexity and finesse every year.

Golden yellow in the glass with a greenish tinge. The aroma is complex and noble with lime blossom, white peach, salted lemon, yellow pear, a hint of herbs and a subtle woody spice. Dense yet firm on the palate, with juicy fruit, cool minerality and a supple, slightly salty texture. Long finish with a fine almond note and citrus freshness. Powerful, self-confident and with great balance – a wine with origin, depth and history. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright light gold with silver-green nuances. Initially cool and mineral on the nose, then opens up to white melon and vineyard peach. Silky, creamy texture on the palate, glides into the long finish with definite pressure and ripe fruit." Falstaff

"Herbaceous aromas, sage and tarragon, with a touch of floral character. Rich, creamy palate, lovely acidity, fresh pineapple and orchard fruit." Decanter

"This wine presents ripe fruit from fruit trees, accompanied by a hint of candied lemon, fresh honey and dusty mineral notes. It is complex and layered with a savoury tension on the palate, with a medium to full body and a compact, creamy core. The finish is long and full of character." James Suckling
