The 1995 Pignolo (made from one of Friuli's indigenous varietals) is tannic, but it possesses a wonderful chocolate-covered cherry-scented bouquet, dense, spicy, black fruit characteristics, medium body, and a structured, concentrated personality. Ideally, it needs another 1-2 years of cellaring; it should age nicely for 12 years. Importer: Dominic Nocerino, Vinifera Imports, Ronkonkoma, NY; tel. (516) 467-5907
