THE ESTATE• 16 hectares of
vineyards
• Only hand harvest
• Dedication to sustainable agriculture
• Wines still made in the original cellar which was recently modernized
PINOT GRIGIO
• Pinot Grigio is the most widely planted grape in Friuli and has found a unique home here. Friuli makes bar none the best Pinot Grigio available on the market- Pinot Grigio from Friuli has texture and lushness where mass Pinot Grigio does not.
• Hand harvested in the village of Vermegliano, it is fermented in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks and then aged on the lees until April.
• Elegant and peculiar; delicate and fresh; flowery aromas blend together with mineral notes of crushed stone. On the palate the wines strikes you as fresh and extremely mineral, almost saline characteristic.
FRIULANO
• Native grape to Friuli and our most beloved variety- come visit us in our wine bar at the winery and you’ll be given a glass of Friulano.
• Hand harvested in the village of Vermegliano, it is fermented in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks and then aged on the lees until April.
• Rich an intense aromas of yellow apples and toasted almonds. Rich, round and full flavors.
MALVASIA• Native grape grown from Friuli to the
Istrian Peninsula (Croatia).
• The town of Ronchi where we are located has historically always been associated with great Malvasia- so much so that the town’s coat of arms features Malvasia leaves.
• Hand harvested in the village of Vermegliano, and the town of San Canzian, it is fermented in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks and then aged on the lees until April.
• Intense and rich bouquet of apricots, peach and banana together with juniper and orange blossoms. Long, fresh and slightly spicy palate.
“OG PG”
• Many people don’t realize that Pinot Grigio is a “grey” grape (Grigio = grey in italian) not a green grape like most white wines.
• When left to macerate on the skins, the wine takes a coppery or reddish hue.. and once upon a time this is the way Pinot Grigio was made- hence “OG PG” the original Pinot Grigio
• WINEMAKING DESCRIPTION ??????
• Juicy, strawberry, ginger and floral on the nose; on the mouth it strikes you for being rich, slightly tannic and with fresh acidity and pleasant salinity
FRIULANO AFFRESCHI
• ?????
REFOSCO• The most popular native grape of the
region- fully known as Refosco del Peduncolo Rosso.
• The area where we grow our Refosco has been famous for this grape since the Roman times when “Refosco di Aquileia” was prized and sent down to Roma.
• Hand harvested in the town of Ronchi dei Legionari, it is macerated 5-6 days and fermented in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks until ??? and then bottle aged for ???? months.
