Vineyard and terroir

The vineyard is planted on marly soil of Eocene origin at a density of 4,200 vines per hectare and trained to unilateral Guyot.

Grapes

Made exclusively from the native Friulano variety.

Vinification

Fully ripe bunches are harvested in late September and pressed whole. Slow fermentation proceeds in stainless-steel tanks at a strictly controlled temperature no higher than 17°C.

Ageing

After racking, the wine remains on its fine lees until spring, with regular bâtonnage. The cuvée is assembled in late spring and continues maturing in stainless steel until bottling. It then rests horizontally in bottle for six months before release.

Tasting profile

Deep straw yellow with golden reflections. Aromas recall wild flowers, hay and almond. The palate is soft and well balanced, echoing the wine’s floral and almond-toned bouquet.
