Full body flavorful - at Piccola Cucina Osteria NY — 3 months ago
55/45 CS/Merlo blend.
Fresh, juicy & expressive.
Black currant, dark plum, some light, minty undergrowth, a bit of cassis.
Medium bodied on the palate with very fine yet grippy tannins, juicy, ripe. With a bit of creaminess to the fruit and an overall good flow.

This pale yellow wine has a fragrant nose with some grassy, herbal notes, although not as grassy as the Tiare. There is a nice floral element and some tropical fruit, too. The palate shows a great Sauvignon Blanc flavor profile - citrus, minerals, herbs - and an acidity which is pleasant enough without getting too crazy. I sometimes find Sauvignon to be a little much on the palate for my taste, but that is not the case with the Turriano. It is a very nice sip and wonderful match for rice or pasta dishes, especially those with an herbal flair to them. BTW, this wine is Friuli DOC. — 5 years ago
This was well-made, but I feel that the fruit just wasn’t rich enough to take advantage of what Merlo was supposed to do in that micro climate — 2 months ago

Very good! No formal notes. I found it quite sauvignon blanc driven. — 20 days ago
