A good choice for a simple fried fish, the Ronco del Gelso 2017 Isonzo del Friuli Rive Alte Friulano Toc Bas opens to a crystalline and transparent appearance and a snappy, lean texture. The bouquet is bright and one-dimensional with minty apple, honeydew melon, wild sage and crushed mineral. Despite the warm conditions of the growing season, this vintage feels thinner compared to recent past editions. Some 25,000 bottles were made.
