About this wine

Grapes

The blend combines Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, both brought to Friuli from France.

Vinification

Before pressing, the grapes are chilled with dry ice, then pressed in pneumatic presses. Fermentation takes place partly in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks and partly in small oak barrels.

Ageing

The wine rests briefly in small oak barrels and stainless-steel tanks.

Tasting profile

Refined, with a well-defined tannin structure. With maturation, it becomes more elegant and develops a more complex bouquet.

Label / history

The earliest document recording wine production at the estate dates from the seventeenth century. In 1970, Volpe Pasini began an intensive research programme and subsequently introduced new winemaking technologies.
