Nicola Manferrari is one of the architects of modern Friulian white wine, and Borgo del Tiglio is widely considered among Italy's great white wine domaines. The Collio Bianco is his everyday flagship blend: Friulano, Sauvignon Blanc, and Riesling, sourced from vineyards across the estate, co-fermented and aged in 250L oak. Manferrari farms with no fertilizer, full grass cover, and a pharmacist's precision (his original profession before he took over the estate in 1981). The result is a textured, layered white with the orchard-fruit warmth of Friulano lifted by Sauvignon's brightness and Riesling's spine. A serious bottle that drinks beautifully young but rewards a few years of patience.
