Friuli. Which wines interest you?

Guess many of us are isolated at home right now so why not sample a red or white from Friuli-Venezia Giulia and post your reflections here? I have some Cab Franc in the cellar and a few interesting whites so I will post a few TNs here.

Bob,
I particularly like most of the RibollaGiallas, many of which are made w/ skin-contact. It's also one of my favorite
regions for SauvBlanc. And their PinotGrigios are a step above most of those from Italy.
But it's the reds I like the most. Particularly Schioppettino and Refosk. A bit more scarce are the Terranos/Teran.

are some of the best expressions of Malvasia.

I was lucky enough to attend a tasting recently that featured wines from Vigna Lenuzza, and I loved the 2 I tried. I especially loved their Schioppettino, a grape variety I knew very little about before. It was killer, had great bright red fruit, but also black pepper and a lot of savory aspects. Almost like a baby of Pinot and Cool climate Syrah...

Thanks Tom, I keep up with your various thoughts (long and boring)!!
