A traditional Friulano (formerly known as Tocai Friulano) from Ermacora, a small winery located in the D.O.C. Colli Orientali of Friuli. Specialists in Friulian whites, Ermacora’s wines are made with a "green" touch. The land is interspersed with wooded areas populated with wildlife and a stream providing diverse ecology for the vineyards. They also rely on an aggressive use of clover and dandelions to protect their vines. The wine exhibits the classic Friulano characteristics; apple and pear on the nose and palate, with perhaps too much of the bitter almond notes. Crisp acidity. Aged in stainless steel. Clean, long finish.

I recently had the same wine, and had similar thoughts. You don't see too much coverage of Ermacora in the US...
You ought to try some of their other wines. The Pinot Bianco is really nice, and the Schiopettino is pretty fun too.
Jeff, Thanks. I'll try to find them.
