About this wine
Vineyard and terroir
Duality combines Sauvignon Blanc from two hillside vineyards with contrasting characteristics. A mid-to-high hillside parcel faces south/south-east, allowing greater ripeness and contributing structure, warmth and softness. The lower north-east-facing vineyard experiences stronger day-to-night temperature changes, supporting more distinctly varietal aromas, higher acidity and freshness.
The vineyards lie in Friuli Colli Orientali at 130–180 m above sea level, on marl and sandstone. They were planted in 1990 at approximately 5,000 vines per hectare and are trained to Guyot and Cappuccina.
Grapes
100% Sauvignon Blanc.
Tasting profile
Straw yellow. The elegant varietal aroma combines grapefruit, elderflower, flint, mint and exotic fruit. The palate is structured, intense and voluminous, with good acid tension, complex varietal expression and a long, persistent finish.
Serving and pairing
Serve at 12 °C. Pair with asparagus, vegetable soups, puréed pulse soups and marinated fish.
Label / history
The name Duality refers to the union of fruit from the two vineyards and their opposing exposures and ripening conditions.
Awards
The 2020 vintage received 4 Viti—the highest recognition—in the VITAE 2023 guide published by the Associazione Italiana Sommelier.
