Description
This wine, a Blanc de Noir from Friuli-Venezia Giulia, originates from Torre Rosazza (Udine) in a soil named "Ponca", a soil that shows low fertility and good capacity to hold water giving the wine a full-bodied taste and colour, tannins, and minerality. Vineyards are located at the top of the hills with a perfect exposure that allows the full ripening of the grapes. The remarkable temperatures and the good ventilation from the Adriatic Sea give tasty and sugary grapes.

Noble elegance. The history of Torre Rosazza is linked to the Antonini, a noble family of Udine from the 1600s. Already owners of the agricultural estate, the Antonini renovated the medieval tower and built the manor house that was their home on the hill from then on: Turris Rosacea.
For Torre Rosazza, making wine also means going outside the box. The vines are cared for by hand: from pruning to harvesting the grapes. Here, no technology has yet surpassed the human being. The company uses all soil management techniques to enable the vines to withstand drought and high summer temperatures. But it is the winery that is the centre of innovation. The company puts maniacal care as they do in cultivating and harvesting the grapes to always get the best from the grapes. New techniques are constantly developed and updated without forgetting the company's heritage. For example, the bâtonnage gives wines more structure. In addition, the company uses presses for macerating the cooled grapes to increase the aromatic content of the must and wine. Finally, slow fermentation at low temperatures maintains the aromatic characteristics of the harvested grapes.
From the vineyard to the bottle: this is how the Torre Rosazza production system takes shape, a closed, modern and evolving system, but always in harmony with nature. Read more
