The Bensa family makes some of the most unique, personality-driven wines in the Friulian Collio. Brief periods of skin contact and extended aging in oak give the whites considerable structure and breadth. Over the last few vintages, the estate has become more consistent. La Castellada releases later than the vast majority of neighboring estates, which means the wines are ready to drink upon release. The reds in particular are typically released quite late. On my view, those wines are better younger than older as a truly age worthy vintage comes around only so often. Readers who want to explore the artisan side of the Collio will want to spend time with these highly intriguing wines.

It's great to see the Bensa family making wines of such distinction from their hillside vineyards in the heart of Collio. Quality and consistency have both been on the rise over the last few years under the leadership of Stefano Bensa. The 2007s were macerated from 4 days to 2 months on the skins and aged predominantly in cask. Bensa describes 2007 as a year with an early harvest, much like 2001.
