94 points – Scarbolo My Time 2006
“Valter Scarbolo grows vines outside of Udine, where he also runs a restaurant, La Frasca. He’s the kind of friendly guy you’d want as your neighbour—particularly ifyou enjoy homemade salumi and brilliant white wines like this 2006 blend. It includes chardonnay, sauvignon and friulano from mature though relatively young vines, and somehow presents a distinctive fruit flavor that’s not exactly kumquat or star fruit or citrus, but something all its own. It has the oak, the fruit, the structure and sophistication of an ambitious blend, but none of that really matters. Like Scarbolo himself, the wine just seems happy. Particularly if there’s salumi nearby.”
92 points – Scarbolo Refosco 2005
"A black wine that’s completely turned in on itself when first poured, this evolves toward scents of cherries and a blast of purple fruit with air. The tannins taste like blueberry skin and blackberry seeds, adding to the vibrant pomegranate and rose petal scents. Young and tense, needing age or grilled meats to show its best.”
"... 4. La Frasca, in Lauzacco. Casual roadside restaurant by Valter Scarbolo, who also doubles as a winemaker. Baked white asparagus pasta with egg cream, tagliatelle with poppy seeds and prosciutto. Valter speaks excellent English and walked us through our meal and his wines, of which there are many. His Pinot Grigio Ramato was a standout, not what people have come to expect from this grape: a copper colored wine with lots of fruit, body and spice." - Matthew Accarrino
