About this wine
Vineyard and terroir
The organically grown fruit comes from the eastern hills of Friuli. The area has a continental climate and mineral-rich soils formed from Flysch rock, locally called “Ponca” in Friulano.
Vinification
The grapes are hand-harvested at optimal ripeness, usually during the first week of September. They are sorted on a sorting table, destemmed and macerated on their skins overnight at 5 °C. After gentle pressing, the must settles for 24 hours. Fermentation with selected yeasts lasts 15 days in stainless-steel tanks at a controlled 18 °C. Malolactic fermentation is prevented to retain acidity.
Ageing
The wine rests on its fine lees for eight months, with weekly bâtonnage.
Tasting profile
Fresh, fruity and floral, with a rich flavour and refreshing acidity.
Serving and pairing
Pair with fish and seafood.
Label / history
