(8/8/2019) This is an extremely interesting off-gold wine from northeast Italy that drinks with the power and intensity of a red wine. The 2015 Exordium is a pure expression of Friulano. The wine puts special attention on mouthfeel, richness and persistence. Like the other wines in this portfolio, this expression sees up to 14 days of skin maceration. The finished wine then ages in large oak casks for 12 months. Friulano is already remarkable in its naked state thanks to its special richness and texture. However, this wine is even more elaborate. I would recommend putting it aside for a few more years. Some 5,000 bottles were produced.
