The 2012 Collio Bianco della Castellada, benefiting from four days of maceration for part of the blend, is an orange wine in more than one sense of the word. It shows a light orange color, with sweet candied fruit and notes of orange peel mixed in with touches of smoke. It has a very exotic personality with sensations of saffron and a touch of cinnamon and white licorice as well. It's a very interesting blend of Pinot Grigio (50%), Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc, in decreasing order of importance. I could see pairing it with crepes or potato pancakes. Some 4,000 bottles were produced.

The 2009 Collio Bianco della Castellada is a blend 50% Pinot Grigio, 30% Chardonnay and 20% Sauvignon Blanc. The Chardonnay and Sauvignon see four days of skin contact. The wine opens to a golden amber color and oxidized aromas of caramel and molasses. A second wave of mineral tones gives the wine a dry and slightly astringent personality with subtle tones of dried fruit and apricot at the back. I have loved this wine in the past, but the 2009 shows slightly less depth.

Richly golden in color, this dry white shows finely knit layers of sleek acidity, dried orange peel and cherry fruit, with notes of chamomile, fleur de sel and almond skin, all underscored by a smoky vein of minerality. Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. Drink now through 2020. 30 cases imported.??–AN??Region: Italy / Collio Select to Add
