Friulano

Friuli Colli Orientali

denominazione di origine controllata

 

Grapes
Tocai Friulano.

Vineyard
The fields of the Estate, in the municipality of Buttrio (Udine).
The soil is predominantly marly-clayey.

Vinification
Once the fruit has completely matured on the vine, the grapes are quickly taken to the winery, being carefully pressed and then fermented under a controlled temperature (18°C), which favours the creation of the wine’s characteristic aroma.

Ageing
The wine matures in steel tanks “sur lies” with periodic stirring of the yeast contained within. The wine then continues to mature in the family’s underground wine cellar.

Appearance
A mellow yet bright yellow colour with pleasant greenish reflections.

Nose
Inviting, with the characteristic aromas of acacia flower, thyme, chamomile and fragrant fruits.

Palate
Soft and flavoursome on the palate, with incredible freshness and mineral qualities, leaving behind a slightly bitter hint of almonds.

Food pairing
Goes well with white meals and San Daniele ham. Friulano is an extraordinary white wine that pairs well with all courses, but especially with traditional combinations: pasta and rice dishes, fish dishes and starters.

Longevity
Reaches maximum expression of the vine in the first two years and can easily exceed four years in the bottle.

Service
This wine is best served chilled (12°C).
