Mario Schiopetto's 2011 Bianco represents a blend of Friulano and Chardonnay in equal measure. This is a sophisticated and rich white wine that opens to vibrant tones of vanilla, stone fruit and pineapple. On a white wine spectrum, this blend is bigger and more opulent than most. The warm vintage has played its role in adding to the general intensity and richness of the wine. The finish is medium in persistence, but the wine's texture is soft and luscious nonetheless.
