About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The fruit comes from the hills of eastern Friuli. The vines average 30 years of age and grow in clay soils layered with Eocene marl and sandstone.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand and macerated for 10 days at no more than 26 °C. They are then gently pressed and fermented at a controlled temperature.

Ageing

The wine rests briefly on its fine lees in steel tanks.

Serving and pairing

Pair with red meat, game or aged cheeses.
