The "Spumante Spirito Brut Nature" from Dolfo winery is a sparkling wine that captures the essence of the traditional method, offering a rich and pure tasting experience. Produced in the renowned Colli Orientali del Friuli region, this sparkling wine is made entirely without any added sugars in the final dosage, a characteristic that defines the "Brut Nature" style.

The grapes used for this wine are handpicked, ensuring the selection of the best clusters. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks, followed by a long maturation on the yeast that can last up to 36 months. This process helps develop the aromatic complexity and the characteristic bouquet of the wine.

On tasting, the "Spumante Spirito Brut Nature" features a very fine and persistent perlage, a clear indicator of its high quality. On the nose, it offers sophisticated aromas of fresh citrus, toasted bread, and floral notes, which harmoniously intertwine with hints of almond and minerality. In the mouth, it stands out for its freshness and liveliness, with a perfect balance between acidity and structure. The absence of sugar dosage enhances its taste cleanliness, making it incredibly dry and straightforward.

Ideal as an aperitif, the "Spumante Spirito Brut Nature" pairs beautifully with light appetizers, fish dishes, and seafood. Its elegance and finesse also make it perfect for celebrating special occasions, where the purity of its expressions can be fully appreciated.

In conclusion, with this sparkling wine, Dolfo winery has created a distinctive expression that exalts the naturalness and the winemaking art of Friuli, offering a refined experience that satisfies the palate of lovers of high-quality sparkling wines.

Winery history
The winery bears the family nickname "Dolfo," and the estate's history is linked to the Skočaj family. The modern approach to production was established at the end of the 20th century, when wines labeled DOLFO first appeared on the market; the official page notes the appearance of DOLFO‑labelled bottles in 1989. Over the years the estate has expanded its vineyards and winemaking facilities in the Brda/Ceglo area.
Production philosophy
It favors manual vineyard care and cultivation practices that emphasize territorial quality; at the same time production is described as conventional, using natural organic fertilizers and paying careful attention to soil management and exposure.
Terroir and vineyards
It is located in Ceglo, in the Goriška Brda area, with vineyards that extend partly into Slovenia and partly into Italy. The local soils are characterized by the so-called "opoka", a calcareous/clayey sedimentary formation that contributes to the wines' sapidity; the vineyards are planted on terraces with sunny exposures and elevations in the area ranging from approximately 80 to 200 meters.
Awards and recognitions
