Description
Still white Riserva from Collio, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, 14.5% ABV, produced by Renato Keber. 100% Chardonnay, 2016 vintage. A wine that embodies Renato Keber's passion for tertiary aromas, with a vinification process that enhances its vitality. Manual harvest with careful selection, in the second ten days of September. Gentle destemming of the grapes, maceration of the skins, soft pressing. Cold decantation. Fermentation in barrels for 12 months, maturation on the lees and further aging for over a year in the bottle. Vanilla notes of bread crust and ripe exotic fruit, a complex and enveloping bouquet. Warm and velvety, persistent with a good minerality, a wine that invites tasting.

Pairings
The gently curving hillside called Zegla, close by the border with Slovenia, has long been home to Renato Keber and his family. Renato’s great grandfather, Franc, came from nearby Vipulzano to settle here in 1900, when this was still under Austrian rule.
Since then and for four generations, the Keber family has lived and produced its wine in Zegla, and even today, the older generations join the new ones in working in the vineyards. Read more
