2019 Miani Friulano Filip

The 2019 Friulano Filip opens slowly to a display of ripe pear and nectarine with hints of white smoke and incense. It’s on the palate where this really comes to life, with a silky display of ripe peach and a citrus twang offset by saturating minerals and bright acids that build mouthwatering tension. Inner florals and a hint of candied lime resonate for well over a minute through the salty, savory finish, making for a lasting impression. There’s amazing density to the fruit and structure here, ensuring positive evolution yet readers will be hard-pressed to keep their hands off the 2019 today.
