"90 Points, Antonio Galloni (Wine Advocate): "Smoke, ash, slate, pears and green apples are some of the notes that emerge from the 2009 Sauvignon Blanc Picol. The aromas and flavors resonate off the palate beautifully, while the oak is especially well-integrated. The Picol tends towards the greener end of the spectrum, a result of the decision to pick on the earlier side. The textured, elegant finish makes it hard to resist a second taste. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2016.""
Lis Neris is located just outside the village of San Lorenzo in Friuli, almost equidistant between the Slovenian border to the north and the Izonzo River to the south. Lis Neris has been in the hands of the Pecorari family since 1879 and is currently run by Alvaro Pecorari. Their standard range is fermented and aged in stainless steel to preserve the freshness and intense minerality of the wines while their ‘cru’ wines see varying degrees of oak ageing that adds another layer of complexity and excellence.
