The nose opens with intense notes of pineapple, apricots and woodsmoke from the oak maturation while the first sip reveals a generous full body, creamy texture and gentle tannins from the barrel. The bright fruit flavours and refreshing streak of acidity make this a great match for rich dishes like fresh pasta served with black truffle and a creamy sauce or even grilled octopus.

Producer Information

When it comes to the wines of Edi and Aleks Simi, several descriptors spring immediately to mind: unrivalled, world-class, controversial and by all standards, unique. Unlike so many of the stainless-aged Italians, even the whites of Simi are fermented and aged for long periods in oak, often earning comparisons to high-end French wine. Multiple critics rank the estate among the very best in Eastern Europe and, as humble as they are, their name is quite well known to all the top producers in next-door Friuli. In terms of low yields, no one has higher standards than Edi Simi. Toward that end, Aleks and his family dont even own a sorting table. Working as a team, grandfather Edi, son Aleks, and grandson Jure make 3 passes per varietal per harvest, selecting each individual berry through sunlight. Its no wonder their wines average just 700 grams per vine – closer to a half-bottle per plant than one bottle!
