Reviewed May 2024A blend of Tocai Friulano, Ribolla Gialla and Chardonnay from small vineyards around the Napa Valley. Each variety is harvested separately and fermented independently in French Oak—aromas of honey, lychee and crushed stone. The palate is fleshy and mouth-filling with rich, ripe peach and honeyed apricot, finishing with a mouthful of wild, savoury herbs. (CP)

James Suckling
In its 15th vintage, Massican is the only solely white wine producer in Napa Valley. This light-bodied blend of tocai friulano, ribolla gialla and chardonnay is inspired by Friuli in Italy and offers brisk mineral, citrus and floral aromas. Light-bodied, nicely tart and laden with stony, chalky elements and bitter lemon nuances.

Wine Enthusiast
This wine is lively, with aromas of yellow apple, honeydew melon, mineral, lemon zest, orange-blossom honey and dried herbs on the nose. The flavors on the palate are Meyer lemon, white grapefruit and bay leaf, layered with tangerine, white peach, sedimentary rock and a dry, supple finish. Pair with fritto misto. (TP)

Vinous
The 2023 Annia is a blend of Tocai Friulano, Ribolla Gialla and Chardonnay, picked on the early side to emphasize freshness. Pear, white flowers, mint, citrus peel and slate are all beautifully laced together. Attractive floral overtones lift the finish. This brisk white is a wine for the dinner table. (AG)
Notes
An aromatic and thirst quenching blend of Tocai Friulano 43%, Ribolla Gialla 34%, and Chardonnay 23%.
