2012 Bastianich Friulano Adriatico

Today we are pairing this wine with the 8th Pearl Caviar (Kaluga Hybrid Sturgeon) from Lady Elena Caviar.

The wine is from the DOC of Colli Orientali Del Friuli in Italy. The wine is made 100% from the Friulano grape. The wine has a pale gold color. There are flowery aromas of ripe pears with almonds and a salty minerality. There is biting acidity on the palate with a full body oily feel. The fruit is also picking up some spicey mint notes. The finish has some white pepper to it and finishes clean.

Lady Elena Caviar Pairing

The 8th Pearl Caviar (Kaluga Hybrid Sturgeon): As the wine covers over the caviar, the sweetness of the pear softens and there is a lifting up of the mineralness of the caviar for a brief time. A great wine and caviar pairing with The 8th Pearl Caviar from Lady Elena Caviar.
