Description
What kind of wine it is
Collio Bianco Tre Vignis is a still white wine that embodies the essence of Friuli-Venezia Giulia, originating from the Collio Goriziano area. This harmonious blend of white grapes combines Friulano, Chardonnay and Sauvignon. In the glass, it displays an intense and brilliant golden colour. The aromatic profile offers a bouquet where bitter almond intertwines with hints of banana and vegetal notes of pepper. Completing the aromatic picture are delicate vanilla and smoky nuances, introducing a tasting experience with a full and structured character.
Where it comes from
Produced by Venica in the heart of Collio, in Friuli-Venezia Giulia, this wine reflects an area renowned for its distinctive white wines. Collio Bianco Tre Vignis represents an authentic expression of the region, maintaining an ideal balance between fruity notes, vegetal tones and toasted hints. The unique terroir ensures a measured aromatic quality and a good structure on the palate, blending the distinctive characteristics of the grape varieties used into a single synergy.
How it is produced
Vinification begins with the joint maceration on the skins of Friulano, Chardonnay and Sauvignon grapes. The must then continues with fermentation and subsequent ageing on the lees, divided between wooden barrels and steel containers. This meticulous process gives the wine a rich texture and a pleasant softness, offering a tasting experience with a full and slightly creamy body. The long and persistent finish recalls toasted notes, the typical tomato leaf of Sauvignon and the bitter almond of Friulano. At the table, it excellently enhances shellfish and mature cheeses.
History and Curiosities
Introduced in the 1980s by the historic winery Venica, established in 1930, Tre Vignis represents an authentic expression of the Friulian terroir. This fine organic Collio Bianco is created through the joint maceration of Friulano, Chardonnay and Sauvignon grapes, overseen by oenologists Gianni Venica and Francesco La Coppola. Careful maturation on the lees, divided between steel and tonneaux, gives the 2019 vintage a complex and profound structure. An eco-sustainable creation mentioned in the FIS guide, capable of blending three noble grape varieties into a single, harmonious masterpiece.
