Friuli Colli Orientali Friulano

From three west-facing parcels at mid-slope, each vinified and aged separately, one in steel tanks, one in concrete vats, and one in older barrels.  Native yeasts, long aging of 8-10 months on the fine lees with very gentle batonage.  No malo to preserve freshness.  A full-bodied, multi-faceted wine, with floral notes that confer a graceful yet complex allure. Light, perky, never bland, with a potent yet fresh mouthfeel.  A wine to caress the palate, with a wonderfully subtle, bitter almond finish tempered by a mildly sweet note.  The Friulano embodies the region's cooler, straighter, and proudly angular character.
