The Bastianich Family has become known in the USA for their many important Italian Restaurants, several at Michelin star level. Joe Bastianich also became famous with the TV show Master Chef. He is a valued jury member in both Master Chef USA and Italy. Founded in 1997, the Bastianich company consists of 40 hectares of vineyards. The original vineyard in Buttrio/Premariacco is located on the southern hills in the DOC. It is influenced by the warmth of the sea and is famous for the production of great wines. The second property, in Cividale del Friuli, is influenced by the bora, or northerly wind. The wines are by the cooler nights, much more aromatic. Both areas share similar soil, ponca, the crumbly sandstone gives the wines their signature mineral backbone.

Founded in 1997, the Bastianich winery strives to understand the history and culture of Friuli-Venezia Giulia and take it to a new level. We create unique wines that show remarkable strength and balance.

The 2019 Bastianich Friuli Colli Orientali Ribolla Gialla Vini Orsone is made from the Ribolla Giallia an indigenous variety that has reclaimed white wine lovers with its intense, mineral notes, great freshness and acidity.

In the nose delicious and balanced aromas of citrus, white melon, minty apple and sage. What stands out most here is the pure and fresh quality. The wine is wonderfully balanced with fruit flavors and its spicy acidity. Ribolla Gialla can be heavy and thick at times, but this wine is quite the opposite, making it an excellent choice for fried seafood, vegetables and sushi.

Parker writes in his verdict: "This is terrific value. Wow, the Vini Orsone line of wines from Bastianich offers outstanding value"
