A decidedly old-school macerated white, made the way it always used to be 

- this is simply the way Škerk work with their white grapes in this part of Friuli. The Pinot Grigio in the blend gives this wine a purple tint to the amber tones - it's all incredibly dense and complex. Concentrated citrus peel, jasmine tea, marmalade andalmonds all swirl and intertwine, a year in barrel before bottling wrapes it all up in a creamy sort of richness. A real must - superstar wine!
