    The 2019 Bianco Galea is remarkably pretty and exotic, with honeyed florals, chamomile, ground ginger and apricot that form its autumnal bouquet. This soothes with its plush textures, ripe orchard fruits and a unique mix of dried orange rind and sesame. The 2019 slowly tapers off, nuanced yet impactful, and keeps the taster looking back to the glass for more. The Bianco Galea, a blend of 90% Friulano and 10% Verduzzo that spends 24 months on the lees in cement, is a wine of meditation.
