Questo vino
Vineyard and terroir
The fruit comes from Russiz Superiore in Capriva del Friuli, within the Collio DOC area. The hilly terrain originated during the Eocene and consists of alternating sandstone and loam rock containing limestone and clay. Its impermeability encourages rainwater to run over the surface, limiting erosion and preventing standing water. The vines are Guyot trained.
Grapes
Pinot Bianco.
Vinification
The grapes are picked entirely by hand and destemmed. Must and pulp undergo cold maceration at controlled temperature, followed by gentle pressing to separate the juice from the skins. Approximately 20% of the must ferments in oak barrels, while the remaining 80% ferments in stainless-steel vats.
Ageing
The wine matures on its lees for six months, followed by several additional months in bottle.
Technical data
Alcohol is approximately 13.5%. Available formats are 0.75 L and 1.5 L.
Tasting profile
Straw yellow. The intense bouquet combines fruit and flowers, led by ripe peach, apple, white-fleshed fruit, wildflowers and broom. The palate is full and elegant.
