Collio Bianco Col Disore 2021

Description

Still white wine from Collio, a renowned area of Friuli-Venezia Giulia, 13.5% ABV, produced by Russiz Superiore, a cru owned by Marco Felluga. Blend: 40% Pinot Bianco, 35% Friulano/Sauvignon Vert, 15% Sauvignon, 10% Ribolla Gialla. 0.75L bottle, 2021 vintage. A wine that tells the story of a region and a family that has always been dedicated to producing high-quality wines. The grapes, some of which are overripe, are separated from the stalks. The juice and pulp undergo cold maceration, followed by a light pressing to separate them from the skins. Fermentation takes place in 15-30 hl oak barrels. Aged for approximately twelve months on the lees and one year in the bottle. It is characterized by an elegant aroma of acacia blossoms and grapefruit, accompanied by a vegetal undertone and sweet notes. Intense straw yellow color with golden-green reflections. Smooth and enveloping on the palate, it's soft and has a good extract. The balance between flavor and freshness leads to a very long finish that develops into warm, almondy notes.

Acquired in 1967 and located in Capriva del Friuli, in the heart of Collio, Russiz Superiore is considered the Cru of Marco Felluga.

Its name originates from the toponym of the hills where its vineyards are located and has always been synonymous with quality and excellence. The eagle of Russiz Superiore, the winery’s emblem, comes from the coat of arms of the Torre Tasso princes—a noble family that arrived in Friuli in 1273 and ruled for many years over the lands where the estate now stands, boasting a history of over 700 years. The estate spans 100 hectares, 50 of which are dedicated to vineyards. The planting density is 6,000 vines per hectare, with a predominant focus on white wine production. Read more
