About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The estate is based at Vistorta in western Friuli. The region comprises coastal plains, mountains and plateaus shaped by Alpine tectonic and geomorphological processes over millions of years. Its complex, mineral-rich soils contain high levels of lime and clay. In the vineyards, planting density and crop size are closely controlled, with green pruning used when needed.

Grapes

The Chardonnay grapes are carefully selected.

Vinification

The grapes are gently pressed after harvest. Fermentation and maceration take place under strictly controlled temperatures, followed by partial malolactic fermentation in new barrels.

Tasting profile

The wine has a delicate aroma and an elegant, well-balanced palate.

Serving and pairing

Recommended pairings include fish dishes, cheeses, appetizers and soufflés.
