Help: Branko Friulano info

[Scott Frank]

Does anyone have any information on this Friuli producer? Have to provide some information on the Friulano to the staff and can find virtually nothing of substance online. Getting to the wire and I can't get a hold of my rep. Anything at all would be much appreciated.

Scott,

I found very little when using "Branko" as the search term but I got a bit more using "Igor Erzetic": 1 2 3 4

I saw the blurb in #3 repeatedly so it must be on the distributor's handout.

Of course, I can't vouch for the quality of these postings but it's something.

HTH.

Here's one sentence that seems particularly alarming:

Perhaps it is the northern hills of Collio, nestled against the Yugoslavian border that give this wine its unique and impressive character or maybe it is the delicate hand of winemaker Igor.

In this day and age, this is quite a trick.

Ahhh. That was indeed the trick. Not much but more than nothing. Finally managed to get some facts from the importer as well. Went over really well with the staff. Definitely on of the better Friulanos for the money I've come accross lately.

Thank you very much.
