Castello di Buttrio Friulano 2020
No other wine could better describe the character of this Region: an indigenous vine testifying the diversity of the locations and their uniqueness. Essence and expression of a mountain land which plunges into the Mediterranean, closely tied to the land and crystal clarity, enchanting with its reticence to the ostentation which becomes to the palate generous, welcoming warmth. An absolute wine, a wine that keeps its promises. The historic vineyards of Castello di Buttrio present themselves in clusters of small, golden grapes, incisive minerality and extraordinary clarity of aromatic profiles.

Colour

Straw yellow.

Bouquet

Intense, aroma-rich and poised with hints of almonds and ripe fruit.

Flavour

Well-rounded and full-flavoured thanks to nicely gauged acidity and generous extract. Almondiness underpins the lingering aromatic length.

Pairing

The Friulano grape makes this wine an unrivalled partner for air-dried prosciutto crudo di San Daniele ham and delicate cured meats such as culatello. A match made in heaven if served with herb omelettes and risottos or egg and asparagus-based dishes. Vegetable soups and Friuli’s traditional bean and barley soup.
