Tasting - Petrucco Ribolla Gialla 2009

Name: Petrucco Ribolla Gialla 2009
Variety: 100% Ribolla Gialla
Region: Friuli
Country: Italy
Year: 2009
Price: $21 (Currently on sale at the Vintage Cellar for $7.95)

Winery Review: This well-priced Friulano would pair nicely with spicy Indian or Thai food thanks to the creaminess and richness of its mouthfeel. In addition, the wine offers a solid bouquet of peach and melon that would not compete with fragrant ingredients 100% Ribolla Gialla.

My Review: This wine was not enjoyable to the nose or the mouth. It smelled like rubbing alcohol. It was pungent and hot to taste, full-bodied, with a heavier weight in the mouth. This wine was tasted on its own without food.
