Tasting - Beltrame Friulano

Name: Beltrame Friulano
Variety: Tocai Friulano
Region: Friuli-Venezia Giulia
Country: Italy 
Year: NV
Price: $14.96

Winery review: This northern Italian white is clean and fresh on the palate, with aromas of honey, freshly cut grass and a touch of eucalyptus. It's a bottle you can enjoy every day with light meats and seafood dishes

My review: This was a decent Italian white wine.  I picked up a pretty pepper smell on the nose, and not much else.  This Beltrame wasn't overpoweringly sweet, but instead had a nice balance between sweetness and what I assumed to be black licorice.  There wasn't a hole lot going on in the mid-palette, but the back-palette was somewhat spicy, probably from the peppery nose.

I had this wine with chicken teriyaki stir fry and then again without food
