Tasting Notes: Golden-yellow colour; complex on the nose, elegantly intense with hawthorn and frangipane, exotic fruits, spices and Mediterranean maquis. Full bodied, with balanced acidity and in harmony with refined and intriguing toasted undertones. Distinct focus on its uniqueness and belonging. This wine is produced only in the best vintages.

Ageing/Vinification: The fully ripen grapes are hand-picked in crates, destemmed and gently pressed. The freerun must is then separated from the press must and put into wooden barrels of 600 litres, where fermentation begins with indigenous yeasts. After the alcoholic fermentation, the malo-lactic fermentation also takes place. The temperature of the barrels does not rise above 26-28°C. The wine is then transferred, and the Ribolla Gialla part is added to the bulk. The wine is aged in oak for a long time, and then bottled without sterile filtration. A long aging in bottle follows.

Vineyard: The Collio is a territory of great white wines, wines of stone and wind, elegant and structured, with an incredible potential of aging. The “ponca” is a soil of Eocene origin, whose marl is very rich in mineral sediments (iron and manganese in particular), once deposited on bottom of the sea and left in its composition. It is a loose soil, poor in organic matter, and very well drained. Made up of alternating layers of marl and sandstone, it is able to retain accumulated moisture for the deepest roots, thus resisting drought.

Product Area: Sustainable.
