Damijan Bianco Kaplja 2021

40% Chardonnay, 30% Friulano, and 30% Malvasia Istriano, 'Kaplja' ferments on skins for 60-90 days before moving into its two-year barrel aging. Superb concentration, consistency, and structure are what this is all about. The 2021 Kaplja is deeply alluring with its golden color and delicate bouquet of sliced nectarines, mint leaf, and spice. It is beautifully balanced, lifted, and finessed, with silken textures and a polished feel to the ripe pit fruits that carry throughout. Gently structured and incredibly long, it finishes with admirable concentration and a cedary bitterness that keeps the mouth salivating for more. Cool-toned and classic, this is built for the cellar.
