Jermann Vintage Tunina Bianco

Friuli Venezia Giulia, Italy

Italy's most famous multi-varietal white blend — Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Ribolla Gialla, Malvasia Istriana, and Picolit from the Collio's ponca marl soils. Extraordinary complexity: white peach, apricot, citrus blossom, mineral depth, honeyed richness, and a persistence that develops magnificently over 8+ years. The wine that proved Italian whites could achieve Burgundian complexity and longevity. Italy's most iconic white wine.

Pairing intelligence

• main: Friuli's most celebrated dish and its most celebrated wine — Vintage Tunina's extraordinary complexity matches white truffle's depth; Frico's fried cheese bridges the wine's mineral richness; Montasio's aged character mirrors the wine's development
• aperitif: The Friuli province's most famous product and its benchmark white wine — Vintage Tunina's peach and mineral character bridges the prosciutto's sweet-salt depth; fig's sweetness mirrors the wine's apricot note; melon amplifies the floral character
