This blend of Pinot Blanc, Chardonnay and an indigenous varietal to Friuli called Picot; which is more commonly seen in late-harvest or passito wines. This wine begins with aromas of kumquat, orange blossoms, wet stone and lemongrass which leads to flavors of salt water, lemon curd, crushed wet sea shell and red delicious apple. The 2013 'Illivio' is an absolutely stunning example of a cool climate white blend from Friuli. (Best 2016-2025) - January, 2016 (OB)
