VINIFICATION Like Ribolla Gialla, it is one of the great Friulian native white vines. Harvested at the right degree of ripeness, the grapes are de-stemmed and softly pressed. The free-run must thus obtained, clear and intact, is added to a fermentation foot previously prepared with the best selected grapes of the same vine. It is then subjected to a slow fermentation in stainless steel tanks at a strictly controlled temperature (16 ° C) which lasts for about 30-40 days. The aging continues in steel where there is also a long series of batonnage at a scalar frequency, in order to obtain a complex, structured and delicately perfumed wine. We will wait until February for bottling.
