About this wine
Vineyard and terroir
Friulano grows on ventilated hillsides in Collio Goriziano. The predominantly marly soils contain clay and limestone and date from the Eocene era. The 2019 technical sheet records Guyot and double-overturned training and a yield of 55 q/ha.
Grapes
100% Friulano, the historic variety of Collio Goriziano.
Vinification
The 2019 grapes were harvested manually from the final ten days of August through the first ten days of September. After gentle pressing, the must underwent a short settling period without sulfur dioxide. Fermentation was initiated with pied de cuve and continued for 10–12 days in stainless steel at 16 °C.
Ageing
Eight months on the lees in stainless steel, followed by at least five months in bottle.
Technical data

Serving and pairing
