{"product_id":"borgo-del-tiglio-collio-2024","title":"Borgo del Tiglio, Collio, 2024","description":"Plenty of people will tell you Sauvignon Blanc and Riesling don't belong in the same bottle, because their aromas come from different chemical families. Nicola Manferrari's answer is Friulano, the grape that makes the pairing work. He didn't get there by theory. Trained in pharmacology, he took over his father's \"hobby\" of five hectares in 1981, then made 50\/50 blends of variety after variety and found that the best ones all contained Tocai (Friulano), Sauvignon and Riesling Renano. The Collio, first released in 1989, came out of those experiments. Here's the insider angle: it's built on the Ruttars grapes and wine left over once the Studio di Bianco selection is made, then topped up with Friulano, Sauvignon and Riesling from other sites. Ruttars is a fairly cool, south-east-facing slope of classic Collio ground with limestone outcrops, especially suited to aromatic whites. Manferrari says its Friulano is ideal for blending, because mixing it with other grapes reins in its exuberance. The label just says \"Collio,\" which is a pretty modest way to sell a wine with this much thinking behind it.","brand":"Grand Cru Selections [GCR]","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50955047338041,"sku":"NYC-W-GCR-`GCRU907355-24`-102626-46","price":43.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0125\/1518\/0601\/files\/Borgo-del-Tiglio-Collio-2024-White-Wine-Flatiron-Wines-Spirits-New-York.jpg?v=1793178049","url":"https:\/\/nyc.flatiron-wines.com\/products\/borgo-del-tiglio-collio-2024","provider":"Flatiron Wines \u0026 Spirits NYC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
