Branko – Pinot Grigio Collio DOC
$29.99
Like many other varieties, Pinot Grigio was imported from France. The grape achieves excellence here and owes Collio much of its fame. This fruit-forward, characterful wine melds very special aromas from fermentation and partial maturation in oak, its initial swagger giving way to more harmonious perceptions that thrill the senses. Sun-dried hay and walnut skin aromas accompany nectarines and confectioner’s cream, comparisons that spring instinctively, and very clearly, to mind. The warm, plush mouthfeel with its discreet acidity and pleasing sensation of elegant fullness derives from the fact that at least ten per cent of the wine is conditioned in mid-sized oak casks.

Branko – Fruilano Collio DOC
Genuinely Friulian, by history, lineage and emotional resonance, the Friulano grape keeps its pledge to deliver a generous, warm drinking experience to which time adds personality and new dimensions of sensory gratification. The instantly recognisable array of bitter almondsedged aromatics frames an outstandingly fresh-tasting palate, the result of maturation in stainless steel subtly enhanced by a small proportion of wine conditioned in 400-litre oak casks.
