| Origin |
Capriva del Friuli (Gorizia). |

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. |
| Vinification |
After destemming, grapes macerates in large steel vats for a period that varies depending on the vintage. During this stage, delicate punch-downs are carried out to extract the noble components of the wine's taste and aroma. |

In small oak casks for 12 months. After bottling, the wine remained in the cellar for approximately 6 months of bottle-aging. |
| Pairing |
It is suitable for accompanying all types of meat dishes, game and medium-long aged cheeses. |
