Edi Kante is one of Friuli's few true superstar producers. It's great to see these wines finally getting the recognition they so richly deserve. In 2012, Kante did not make any of his Riservas and the wines aren't quite as profound as they can be, but that is just the way it goes sometimes with Mother Nature. My preference is to drink the top whites around ages 8-15, while the entry-level range generally drinks well upon release. The Kante style is defined by intense minerality and focus that places them alongside wines like the best Chablis in terms of weight and energy.
