| Origin |
Gradisca d'Isonzo (Gorizia). |
| Climate |
Altitude: 80-200 m. a.s.l. |
| Soil composition |
Hilly, formed during the Eocene epoch with an alternation of marls (silts and calcareous clays) and sandstones (cemented sands). The soil is impermeable causing surface water run-off, which leads to a very gentle morphology. |
| Harvest |
By hand, in mid and late September. |
| Vinification |
After harvesting, the grapes, 5% overripe, are separated from the stalks. The juice and pulp undergo cold maceration, then a gentle pressing to separate from the skins. 30% of the must is fermented in oak barrels and the remainder in stainless steel tanks. |
| Ageing |
About 3 years on the lees before bottling. |
| Pairing |
It perfectly pairs with medium-aged blue cheeses, grilled fish, and vegetable dishes in general such as risotto with asparagus, peppers or spices such as sage and mint. |
