Blanc des Rosis 2008
Varietals: 50% Tocai Friulano, 20% Pinot Grigio, 20% Malvasia, 10% Sauvignon
Soil type: Mostly clay and marly soils of oceanic origin
Maturation: 80% of fermentation is in stainless steel tanks. Only 20% of Malvasia undergoes alcoholic fermentation and malolactic fermentation in tonneaux.
Review: "The 2008 Blanc de Rosis reveals gorgeous purity and textural richness in its enveloping, generous ripe peaches, apricots, flowers and spices. The Blanc de Rosis usually needs a few years in bottle to blossom, and the 2008 is shaping up quite nicely at this stage. Blanc des Rosis is a blend of Friulano, Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon, Malvasia and Ribolla. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2016." 91 pts, Antonio Galloni, erobertparker.com
