This bursts with aromas of ripe pear, white peach, almond blossom, and a zingy citrus twist. The palate is fresh and lively, but with a gorgeous creamy texture that makes it feel silky rather than sharp. Expect flavours of juicy stone fruits, lemon zest, and a faint whisper of herbs (hello, wild fennel!). A little bitter almond note on the finish is Friulano’s signature move, giving the wine a distinctive, mouthwatering end. Easy-drinking yet totally elegant, this is sunshine-in-a-glass material.

Nestled in the verdant hills in the east of Friuli, Le Celline is all about celebrating Italy’s best-kept wine secrets. This small, family-run estate leans into the traditions of their home turf — think native grapes, hands-on farming, and a love for the land that runs deep. Here, it’s less about chasing trends and more about bottling the true spirit of Friuli: fresh, vibrant, and fiercely authentic. Local varieties, harvested by hand and made with care. Le Celline shines by championing local varieties like Refosco and Friulano, crafting wines that feel like a lively conversation around a family table. With a focus on sustainable practices and low-intervention winemaking, they let the fruit (and the region’s magic) do all the talking. The result? Wines that are refreshingly real, gorgeously food-friendly, and packed with personality.
