About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes grow in the western part of Venezia Giulia, mainly on marl and sandy soils.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested in September. Fermentation takes place in steel tanks. Part of the wine ferments in contact with the skins to extract aromatic compounds and emphasize its fresh character.

Ageing

The wine rests on its lees in stainless steel tanks for around 10 months, followed by several months in bottle.

Tasting profile

Fresh and velvety, with lively aromas, elegant fruit and subtle mineral notes. The palate is well balanced.

Serving and pairing

Pairs especially well with seafood, vegetables and fish.

Label / history

The first vintage was released in 1996. “Afix” comes from “Aloyz Felix,” the shortened name of Silvio Jermann’s youngest son. The wine is released exclusively under screw cap to preserve its aromas and sensory qualities.
