Grape Variety: Friulano
Alcohol content: 13.5%Vol
Vinification: The harvest took place on 16th September 2019. The hand-picked grapes, placed in small crates, were destemmed and left to undergo maceration on the skins for a few hours. The wine was racked into 7-hectolitre terracotta jars towards the end of alcoholic fermentation, to permit proper temperature control. Malolactic fermentation took place over three weeks. Keeping the wine on the yeasts contributed to its creamy texture, and ageing in terracotta enhanced its mineral qualities.
Colour: Lustrous yellow in the glass with captivating greenish hues.
Bouquet: The elegant portrait of an authentic Friulano. Developing aromas of almond blossom and candied citrus peel blended nicely with floral notes of freesia, wisteria and thyme. Abate Pears and Golden Delicious Apples appear alongside breezy hints of freshly mown grass and rosemary. Intriguing hints of desiccated coconut and sweet spices like saffron and ginger are released in the glass.
Taste: A refreshing, mouth-watering entry and satisfying, smooth flavour with a lively supporting tartness. Velvety and beautifully put together, with fresh, complex impetus imprinting a tangy moreish flavour.
