Classified under the \u003cstrong\u003eRosazzo designation\u003c\/strong\u003e, it is created from a careful blend of Friulano, Pinot Bianco and Sauvignon grapes. Its profile is deep and vibrant, standing out for its remarkable ageing potential and an aromatic texture that combines fruity notes with a marked savouriness. Separate vinification in steel and \u003cstrong\u003eFrench oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e gives this white wine great roundness, creating a harmonious finish ideal for pairing with seafood dishes and white meats.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wine originates on the historic \u003cstrong\u003ehills of Rosazzo\u003c\/strong\u003e, in the province of Udine, an area renowned for quality viticulture. The vineyards are predominantly trained using the \u003cstrong\u003eGuyot\u003c\/strong\u003e system, which ensures a perfect vegetative balance and optimal yields. The distinguishing element of this area is the soil composition, characterised by the typical flysch made up of \u003cstrong\u003emarl and sandstone\u003c\/strong\u003e of Eocene origin. This earthy matrix decisively shapes the style of the wine, infusing the grapes with a distinct taste definition and an unmistakable mineral character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe production process begins with a \u003cstrong\u003emanual harvest\u003c\/strong\u003e in small crates to preserve the integrity of the bunches. In the cellar, the grapes undergo gentle de-stemming, a short maceration and soft pressing, followed by the decantation of the must. The varieties ferment separately: the Pinot Bianco and Sauvignon mature in temperature-controlled steel tanks, while the Friulano undergoes alcoholic and malolactic fermentation in oak barrels. After blending, the wine is aged \u003cstrong\u003eon the fine lees\u003c\/strong\u003e to increase its creaminess and rests for nine months in \u003cstrong\u003etemperature-controlled rooms\u003c\/strong\u003e before summer bottling.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and interesting facts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduced for the very first time in 1981, the iconic \u003cstrong\u003eTerre Alte\u003c\/strong\u003e is unanimously considered one of Italy's most prestigious white wines.
