Tenuta Luisa Friuli Isonzo 2019 750ml

Rivers write stories in sediment, and the Isonzo has been composing for millennia. Tenuta Luisa reads these geological manuscripts, translating ancient riverbed soils into wines of startling clarity. This 2019 bottling captures the Isonzo's narrative in liquid form.

The Isonzo DOC's unique position, where Alps meet Adriatic, creates a microclimate unlike anywhere else in Friuli. The 2019 vintage brought ideal conditions - warm days, cool nights, and just enough rain. In Tenuta Luisa's sustainable vineyards, these conditions produced fruit of exceptional character.

The aromatics immediately transport you to this river valley. There's a freshness here that speaks of Alpine waters, mixed with the warmth of Adriatic breezes. White flowers, stone fruits, and herbs create a complex bouquet, while mineral notes remind you of the river's ancient path.

On the palate, the Isonzo's influence continues. The texture has both weight and flow, like river water over stones. Flavors cascade across the palate - citrus gives way to orchard fruits, followed by herbs and that persistent minerality. The finish flows on like the river itself.

Tenuta Luisa's 2019 Friuli Isonzo offers liquid geography. This is wine that tells the story of place through flavor, capturing the essence of where river valley meets coastal plain. For those seeking wines that speak clearly of somewhere specific, the Isonzo's voice rings clear.
