Venica & Venica, Friuli
The only white to see any oak (50%) in its production, the Tre Vignis represents a slight departure in style from the estate’s single varietal wines. Still intense and long, this selection of the vintage's best Tocai, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc has notes of vanilla, sweet almond pastry and crème brulee alongside honeysuckle, ripe tropical fruits and a hint of licqorice. This is a rich, full wine where the lush fruit core is not subsumed by the wood, merely given more structure and weight.
The Venica & Venica estate
The Estate has been in the Venica family for three generations, and unoaked whites predominate. Collio's distinct microclimate has encouraged the Estate to vinify separately parcels of vines from different areas of the vineyards in order to highlight the complexity that is possible. Among their portfolio of wines, Gianni, Giorgio and Giampaolo make two of the region's finest Sauvignon Blancs (Mele and Cero) which bear comparison with the very best of Sancerre and Pouilly Fumé. After the heavy rains of 2002 and the blistering heat of 2003, 2004 allowed the vines to recover their equilibrium so that the wines from the current 2005 and 2006 vintages are the perfect balance of concentration, purity, depth and length.
