About this wine
Vineyard and terroir
The 2024 Dolée comes from the Dolée vineyard at Mariano del Friuli in the Friuli Isonzo Rive Alte area. The 2.02 ha under production lie at 31 m with east–west exposure. The simple-Guyot vines average 25 years of age and are planted at 6,200 vines/ha in a 1.60 × 1.00 m layout.
The soil is rather shallow and well drained, with abundant gravel and pebbles and reddish sandy-silty material coloured by iron and aluminium oxides. The 2024 yield was 7,070 kg/ha, equivalent to 1.14 kg per vine.
