The 2018 Cialla Bianco is smoky, wafting up with dusty chalk and musky notes of peach and pear. This gains a confectionary melon note with time in the glass. It’s texturally deep with cooling acids and mineral-tinged melon, while it soothes yet also stimulates the palate. The 2018 tapers off dry and lightly structured, yet also refreshing and long, leaving a hint of sour citrus and a lingering salty sensation. Lose this in the cellar for three to five years. The Ciallabianco is a blend of 65% Ribolla Gialla, 25% Picolit and 10% Verduzzo from 50-year-old vines. ERIC GUIDO

Half of the grapes are late-harvested at the end of October with more or less consistent development of the Noble Rot; the other half is left to dry on the vine. Spontaneous fermentation of the must in French oak barrels and subsequent maturation in the same barrels for at least 20 months. Additional 24 months of ageing in bottle. Suitable for very long ageing; particular vintages can age over 40 years. RONCHI DI CIALLA

This really is one of the most fascinating, inspiring, and singular estates of Italy. An incredible history that spans centuries and that in just over a quarter century has become a benchmark producer for some of the rarest wines in the world. A noble and impressive feat.

The property with its steep terraces surrounded by chestnut, oak and wild cherry trees dates back to the Paiarchte of Aquiuleia and the Republic of Venice. Unusually, it sits in an Alpine valley that runs east-to-west rather than north-to-south 35 km’s from the sea and 35 km’s from the mountains which see harvest start a full two weeks later than anywhere else in Friuli while rarely exceeding alcohols of 12.5%

Fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, preceded by two days' maceration on the skins; native yeasts; natural static decation. Ageing on lees for at least three months with frequent batonage. 25 - 30 year old vines.

Kris is from the Delle Venezie, the historical term for the three regions of the Veneto, encompassing Trentino-Alto Adige, Friuli-Venezia Giulia and the Veneto. Always on point the 2022 looks to be the best we have seen and that should prbobably come as no surprise given the team that craft it are from famed estate Franz Haas.

White peach and crunchy apple and pear to the fore with a gently spiced, quartz/mineral nose. The palate is clean as a whistle with a core of sweet white fruits cut with bright, zippy acidity. At the same time the palate is generous with a lovely textural element that gives it nice weight and punch while always remaining bright and fresh. Another fantastic effort!

A 40/40/20 blend of pinot grigio, friulano and malvasia and aged in a mix of stainless steel and some smaller oak. Like flavour and aromatics in your wine? Here's one for you. The notional icon white of the estate, Fosarin gives you Friuli in a glass. The aromatic is an evocative and decadent combo of pear, cooked down apple and, more than anything, a wonderful overlay of exotic spice floats above the whole thing - think the Middle East, Iranian fairy floss, musk and rose water.

On the palate, the wine gives you all this again couched within a rich-but-not-overweight texture which instead lends gravitas to the wine. In one sense this wine gives you the impression that this wine may have too much of everything - flavour, texture and mouth aromas are intense - but in fact, the underlying acidity acts like the spear on a shish kebab holding all the decadence close to the core. Perfect food wine and having tasted many older vintages over the years, don't be afraid to keep some in the cellar, it handles ages without decay. A ripper. MICHAEL MCNAMARA

Funny I review this wine at the start of the Australian Spring. I always get from this, and other high quality Friulano, a distinct waft of acacia, a nectar-like pungency which is quite lovely. This sits alongside peach and lemon on both aromatic and palate. There's also a real raciness which keeps the wine pinging around the mouth - mineral, cut fruit, skins and almond all in the mix. Delicious wine (maybe my favourite) and has the acidity and flavour to pair up nicely to the local prosciutto. I was reading an old review of this wine by Ian D'Agata and he finished then by saying "knockout Friulano". Ditto for me on this wine. MICHAEL MCNAMARA

Hint of typical pink and copper in the colour. Split rockmelon, lemon pulp and raw pear, cut hay on a dewy morning and yellow flowers flow out of the glass. All this leads onto a slippery textured palate punctuated by alpine herb tinged pear pulp, lemon and an undelrying energy and persistence of mineral that pushes the flavours across the palate at a good clip. A hint of phenoltics gives the wine an edge that prepare you for the introduction of food. What pinot grigio should be and an antidote to the lakes of commercial rubbihs on the market .

Wonderfully exotic yet incredibly fresh, the 2017 Verduzzo lifts from the glass with a bouquet of exotic florals, young peach and green melon. This opens with a balanced inner sweetness complicated by salty minerals giving way to tropical citrus and ripe orchard fruits, as confectionary spices cascade throughout. The 2017 finishes vibrant and clean, leaving the palate perfectly reset for another indulgent sip. I would never guess that this finishes at 30 grams of residual sugar per liter. The harmony within is something to behold. Eric Guido, Vinous

The 2021 Ribolla Gialla lifts from the glass with a mineral-inflected blend of crisp green apple and ground ginger. This washes across the palate with a tension-filled mix of salty minerals and zesty lime-tinged acidity, coming across as vividly fruity yet savory at the same time. Lemon zest and tart orchard fruits resonate as the 2021 finishes with admirable length. ERIC GUIDO, Vinous

A beautifully expressive aromatic is spearheaded by honey, beeswax, citrus and fresh cut rock melon. Also a touch of yellow flower and gentle spice. The palate is all about citrus and orchard fruits doused by subtle seaspray salinity, herbs and a gentle pull of phenolic texture. It's hard to stop dirnking. MICHAEL MCNAMARA
