Vineyards
The vineyards are located between the municipalities of Manzano and Spessa di Cividale, in the Colli Orientali del Friuli, an area particularly suitable for hillside viticulture. In Spessa, the soil is famously called Ponca, a mixture of marl and sandstone that has stratified over the millennia. The alkaline nature of the soil, rich in calcium carbonate, combined with significant temperature variations, give the wines flavor and minerality. In Manzano, the soil is composed of marl and clay, which contributes to the production of particularly structured and intense white wines.
Vinification
The grapes are harvested and cooled to a temperature of about 10°C. After a gentle pressing and fermentation, vinification takes place in steel tanks for approximately 7/8 months to keep intact the aromas that characterize the variety. A small part of the mass, about 5%, is vinified in French oak barrels. The two batches of wine are then blended to carry out cold stabilisation and filtration; follow bottling and packaging procedures.
Tasting Notes
Bright straw yellow with greenish reflections. On the nose, delicate floral notes; On the palate it is tender, tasty and with a characteristic almond finish. Recommended with first courses with vegetable sauces, white meats and light dishes in general.
