In the glass
Aroma: yellow apple, bitter almond, white blossom, lemon zest
Palate: green apple, almond skin, lemon pith, saline finish
The classical Collio Friulano vinified in stainless steel since the late 1960s. Yellow apple and bitter almond aromatics over a saline almond-skin finish, the textbook reference for modern Friulano.
What it pairs with
-
San Daniele ham
Air-cured Friulian ham finds a peer in the wine's bitter almond and saline edge; the regional pairing. -
Frico con patate
Friulian Montasio and potato cake echoes the wine's almond skin; high acidity scrubs the cheese fat. -
Asparagus risotto
Almond blossom aromatics meet the spring vegetable's bitterness; medium body holds the Carnaroli starch.
History
The reference Collio Friulano, vinified at the estate since the founding 1965 vintage. Mario Schiopetto's temperature-controlled stainless-steel programme defined the modern style for clean, fruit-forward Friulano.
