PRODUCTION:
Mostly from vineyards around Gorizia and San Floriano del Collio and Zegla, two zones which are geographically near to each other but enjoying quite distinct pedi-climatic features. The more exposed grapes in San Floriano produce more intense and structured wines while the grapes from Zegla result in markedly delicate and fragrant wines.

TYPE OF SOIL: Terraced cultivation in marl- and sandstone-rich soils with a healthy sandy and mineral element.
TRAINING SYSTEM: Guyot and Cappuccina
HARVEST: Hand-picked in early September.
WINEMAKING METHOD:
The partial cold maceration process and lack of contact with oxygen ensure that the variety’s unique aromas are delivered directly into the bottle along with an elegance coming from a brief passage in 25hl barrels.
SENSORY PROFILE:
A delicate yellow colour with pale green highlights; very intense aromas with notes of passion fruit, nettle, sage and boxwood; sharp and fresh flavoured with a distinct and lingering mineral finish.
RECOMMENDED CELLARING: 2 years.
FOOD PAIRING: Dishes made from seasonal vegetables like asparagus and artichokes, omelettes, salted sea bass.
