Luigino Balozio Description
Luigino is a character with a very high profile, humble but highly prepared in the management of vineyards as well as being a top oenologist. Some years ago he decided to make a change in the management of some vineyards. Together with his friend Christian Patat, they decided to isolate some of these plots and to dedicate to them a very accurate pruning management with the support of Zeno Gregorat. A Chardonnay , small vineyards of Friulano and a magnificent plot of Sauvignon, located in the municipalities of Corno di Rosazzo (Cuar) and Buttrio (Buri) become the object of the trio's attention. A project of Friulano pride.
Insider Secret: The Luigino Balozio wines come from vineyards managed by Christian Patat of Ronco del Gnemiz and are vinified in his cellar.
Vinous: 91 Points
Almond custard, vanilla bean, crushed rocks and smoke waft up from the 2021 Chardonnay Buri. Silky-smooth and weighty upon entry, it forms up beautifully as tart orchard fruits and candied lemon come to the fore. This is almost salty through the finale, with minerals and yellow apple hints that linger on and on. The 2021 Buri is a beauty.
