Attems Ribolla Gialla 2021, D.O.C. Venezia Giulia, Italy
£19.95 – £107.70
Attems is a name that encompasses the history of wine in Friuli Venezia Giulia. Indeed there is documentation that confirms ownership of land dedicated to viticulture in Collio by the Attems dynasty dating as far back as 1106. The Attems brand is owned and managed by the Frescobaldi family who have 700 years of history of viticulture in Italy. All of the Attems wines show incredible character and elegance.
Tasting notes
This bright straw-yellow wine has a delicate aroma of dandelion, hay and mimosa. The palate is fresh and flavourful with an aftertaste of lime and yellow melon. The variety expresses its great flavour in the firm, saline finish. Ribollo Gialla is a vastly underappreciated variety that packs loads of intensity in a creamy mouth feel with great freshness.

Attems Pinot Grigio 2020, D.O.C. Friuli, Italy
£19.95 – £107.70 Buy The wine is a clear, straw yellow. The nose expresses great personality with fresh aromas of white peach, citrus peel and wildflowers as well as definite scents of thyme and toasted bread. In its structured body we find a wine with balance and complexity with a persistent finish of white pepper, avocado and walnut. Let's be clear, Italian Pinot Grigio can bring to the thought of mass produced generic insipid green fruit. Attems Pinot Grigio is on a different planet altogether. This is what Pinot Grigio can achieve when in the hands of a producer focusing on quality, not quantity. -

Attems Cicinis 2018, D.O.C. Collio, Italy
£32.95 – £177.90 Buy Elegant straw yellow with green highlights, the nose is energetic with notes of thyme, nettles, and sage leaf followed by broom flowers and elderberry with light undertones of delicately spiced vanilla and ginger. On the palate the wine is expressive with fresh citrus and tomato leaf notes. The finish is persistent and dense, with a great balance of richness and zip. In our opinion, this is quite possibly the best Sauvignon Blanc Italy have ever produced.
