About this wine
Vineyard and terroir
The selected fruit comes from a small, single vineyard in Friuli Grave, 100 metres above sea level at the foot of the Dolomites. The mountains protect the site from cold northerly winds, and the soils have a high proportion of gravel.
Grapes
The grapes are selected by hand.
Vinification
The grapes are harvested by hand. Following the initial fermentation, the wine undergoes a second fermentation by the Charmat method in temperature-controlled stainless steel autoclaves for 120 days.
Vintage notes
In 2021, a cool spring in Friuli was followed by a hot summer. Hot days alternated with cooler conditions, allowing slow, even ripening. Marked temperature changes during harvest were beneficial. The warm months gave the vintage its distinctive character and allowed the grapes to express their potential fully.
Label / history
The Fantinel winemakers chose the name “One and Only” to express their approach to making this brut. Production is limited.
