Region NameFriuli Venezia Giulia

Score: 93Vintage 2021Vinous MediaThe 2021 Flors di Uis is as lively and vibrant as a perfect spring day with nuances of freshly squeezed lemons, wildflowers, wet stone and ground ginger. There's a burst of inner sweetness up front, yet this is focused on purity, as mineral and floral perfumes complicate its notes of tropical green melon. Lifted and racy in style, this finishes with a salty flourish and lime zest notes that slowly taper off, revealing an utterly crisp finale. The Flors di Uis is a total charmer, a blend of 57% Malvasia, 35% Rhine Riesling and 8% Friulano.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
Score: 93Vintage 2020James SucklingThis has a fragrant nose of rose water, lychee, melon and peach. Full-bodied, ripe and dense with an oily texture. Dry and spicy at the end. Intense wine. Malvasia, riesling and friulano. Drink now.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
Score: 93Vintage 2020Vinous MediaThe Flors di Uis is remarkably pretty and lifted in 2020. Exotic florals and sweet spice complement green melon and hints of smoke. This boasts textures like nectar, forward in style yet perfectly balanced with ripe, mineral-tinged apple and pears. There is a seamless yet perfectly poised sensation here, as its zesty acids add verve and leave a pleasant inner sweetness through the finale, contrasted by a twang of sour lime. In 2020, the Flors di Uis is a highly enjoyable expression of contrasts that drive the palate wild. This is a blend of 57% Malvasia, 35% Riesling and 8% Friulano.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review

Score: 94Vintage 2019James SucklingThis is a fantastic white. Opulent and spicy with so much clove and dried lemon and lime. It’s full and oily, yet solid and energetic at the same time. Goes on for a long time. Malvasia, riesling and friulano. Already fascinating to drink, but will age beautifully.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review

Score: 93Vintage 2016Wine AdvocateSlightly lower in price compared to this estate's mono-variety wines, the 2016 Friuli Isonzo Flors di Uis is a blend of 45% Malvasia Istriana, 40% Riesling Renano and 15% Friulano. Production is 23,286 bottles. This unoaked white blend shows a razor-sharp delivery of primary fruit aromas, with zesty freshness and citrusy acidity on the close, followed by white jasmine and honey. The wine shows beautifully in the glass, with a radiant and brilliant appearance.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
Score: 93Vintage 2015Wine AdvocateThis bottle of 2015 Friuli Isonzo Flors di Uis spells out the full names of all the grapes used in this blend: Malvasia Istriana, Tocai Friulano and Riesling Renano, but really what you pick up here is the Riesling. It's hard to judge the quality of the other varieties as a result. At any rate, this wine is very fleshed out and well aged. It's really incredible what that one extra year of bottle aging has accomplished. It's a very nice vintage that is linear and direct, with floral and citrus scents along with that chemical note that only comes with age. Production is 23,273 bottles.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
