No longer found in Bordeaux at all, it's thrived in Friulano to give light, vivid, wines with citrus and green apple fruit, hints of something floral, and an almond note that can range from green to almost toasted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a terrific example, with around 12 hours of skin contact before fermentation to add body, texture and bite. The aromas are subtle and lovely, showing notes of crisp pear, green apple, hay, wildflowers, chamomile and toasted almond. On the palate the firm acidity is balanced by a nice feel of textural richness with crisp green orchard fruits, lime and toasted almond flavors and an attractively dusty, almost salty, dry finish. Not really fruity, but not austere, either, this is a delightful companion to all kinds of food including asparagus, pork and poultry, and shellfish.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Venica \u0026 Venica","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44015741042912,"sku":"116938","price":40.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/9713\/0464\/products\/venica-and-venica-primar-and-369-l-friulano_1.jpg?v=1684269703","url":"https:\/\/www.mywineconnection.com\/products\/venica-venica-primar-l-friulano-2021-750ml","provider":"My Wine Connection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
