As one of the greatest regions for white wine production, the wines of Friuli are rarely cheap. While this generally holds true, more forward thinking producers have developed entry level wines that give an insight, the first step on the ladder if you will, to the region and its wines.
A three way blend of Friulano, Chardonnay and Riesling, ‘Clic’ Bianco is a bright, fresh aromatic wine that just needs sunshine, good glassware and good company. Textured, fresh and with just a hint of spice, it is an excellent introduction to the exciting white wines of north-east Italy.
