The 2020 Studio di Bianco is delicately floral with crushed yellow apple ginger wet stone and spring flower nuances forming its bouquet. It washes across the palate with a mineral-enhanced blend of orchard fruits and green citrus taking on a pretty inner sweetness toward the close. An unexpected tension lingers as the 2020 finishes spicy and with an herbal flair. This may not have the depth of the best vintages but it's a total pleasure to taste. - By Eric Guido on January 2023 The 2021s from Borgo del Tiglio are flat-out stunning perfectly blending the warm vintage with their energetic style of pure fruit infused with crystalline minerality. In fact the 2021 Studio di Bianco is one of the most exciting wines I have ever tasted here and the Sauvignon Dark Label doesn?t fall far behind. As for the 2020s they are an excellent effort in a year that seems to be full of ups and downs even within a single producer's portfolio. I found the Ronco della Chiesa (Friulano) to be a huge standout in this vintage. The 2018 Rosso della Centa (Merlot) is a classic for the reds. It comes across as an old-school cool-climate Merlot and will surely enjoy a long life. Borgo del Tiglio remains one of the reference point producers in Friuli with a traditionally-styled portfolio that many other winemakers strive to replicate yet seldom do.
