Origin |
Municipality of Capriva del Friuli in the Collio Doc. |
Climate |
Altitude: 80-200m. a.s.l. |
Soil composition |
The Collio’s hilly terrain, formed during the Eocene period, is composed of layers of sandstone and loam rock (limestone and clay) that were once the ocean floor. Today the sea, which is about 20km (12 miles) away, and the nearby Alps send afternoon breezes over the vineyards, cooling the grapes after a warm day of sun. Proximity to mountains and sea, along with the mineral-rich but poor soils, create the ideal situation for producing complex, well-structured wines that are very age-worthy. These soils are impermeable so rainwater flows off their surface, producing little erosion. |
Vinification |
After harvest, the grapes were separated from the stems. The juice and pulp then underwent a cold maceration at controlled temperatures, followed by gentle pressing to separate the skin from the grapes. Approximately 15% of the must was fermented in oak barrels and the remaining fermented in stainless steel vats. |
Ageing |
On the lees for 8 months and then in the bottle. |
Pairing |
It can be combined with every fish-based meal, herbs risotto and first courses. |
