Villa Russiz, one of the Collio’s benchmark estates, issues this sensational northeastern Italian bianco from a blend of Pinot Grigio (50%), Pinot Bianco (25%), Ribolla Gialla (20%), and Sauvignon Blanc. A brilliant straw gold color in the bowl, Villa Russiz Les Enfants unfurls with cool, mineral-driven aromas of green pears, Golden Delicious apples, gardenia blossoms, and limestone. The wine is fresh and bristling with energy on the palate, layering suggestions of white peaches, pear, and herbs, all driven by a pulsing mineral undercurrent. Clean and impressively persistent, the wine finishes cool and bracing with echoes of peach and pear fruit complicated by fresh herbs and crushed limestone minerality. Pair now and over the coming two years with lighter fare such as sauteed Tuscan kale, shellfish, sushi and sashimi, halibut, pan-roasted black cod, light poultry dishes, and grilled squashes. Gorgeous wine!
