Fiegl’s ‘Villa Dugo’ range is a well priced selection of attractively packaged wines from Italy’s north-east. While the Pinot Grigio is the powerhouse of the white wines, the Malvasia is pretty decent stuff too.
Light in bodied, body dry and fresh, this is an uncomplicated wine that has one hankering for sunshine. Crisp, pure and steely, it’s not particularly complex or intellectually engaging, but there’s plenty to like with its vibrant persona. Would make a great picnic wine.
2015 FIEGL ‘VILLA DUGO’ MALVASIA BIANCOProducer: Fiegl
Variety: Malvasia
Region: Friuli, Italy
ABV: 12.5%
Closure: Screw cap
Retail Price: $20.00
Date tasted: 29 September 2016
Tasting Note:
Pale silvery yellow in appearance. Straightforward nose of green apples and lemon/lime. Dry, medium bodied, steely, fresh and vibrant. Very much in the crab apple/lemon citrus realm. The sort of wine that demands company, a frivolous state of mind and a warm sunny day.
Score: 15/20
