San Martino della Battaglia (Lombardy / Veneto) DOC
Come si dice? Tap the speaker next to a name to hear it in Italian. AI voice.
No strip issued. I'm still hunting a bottle.
A pocket-sized DOC named for the 1859 battle site, growing Friulano (called Tuchì here) on morainic hills otherwise given over to Lugana. The dry white is pale gold, medium bodied, with pear, chamomile, a waxy texture and the grape's bitter almond finish, somewhat softer and rounder than Collio Friulano. The liquoroso is a fortified, lightly sweet curiosity that almost nobody makes anymore. Selva Capuzza, Cadore and a couple of others keep it alive; total production is a few thousand cases.
