Description

Malvasia Friuli Colli Orientali 2023 from the Specogna winery represents an exemplary expression of varietal and territorial character. This white wine, originating from the prestigious Colli Orientali del Friuli area, is the result of a meticulous selection of Malvasia grapes, which are handpicked to ensure the integrity and quality of the fruit.

From the glass, it releases an intense and seductive aromatic profile, with distinctive notes of white flowers, honey, and delicate hints of peach and pear. The sip reveals a balanced and harmonious structure, with lively acidity that enhances its freshness and drinkability, leaving room for a pleasantly persistent finish.

The vinification process of Specogna's Malvasia follows careful and sustainable protocols aimed at preserving all the delicate varietal aromas and the authenticity of the terroir. An ideal choice for those who love aromatic but elegant white wines, it is a wine that can be enjoyed on its own or as an excellent accompaniment to fish dishes, seafood, or light white meats. An oenological treasure that reflects the richness and complexity of Friuli Venezia Giulia, ready to surprise every palate.

Winery history

The Specogna family is closely linked to the hills of Rocca Bernarda: according to official sources, Leonardo Specogna purchased the first plot in 1963, and the estate gradually evolved from a mixed subsistence operation into a producer of quality wines. Today the estate continues with the new generation, including Cristian and Michele, who have brought international visibility to the winery.

Production philosophy

The estate aims to express the character of the terroir through vineyard and cellar choices focused on quality: attention to the soil and vineyard location, careful harvesting, and winemaking designed to preserve varietal and regional identity. It also promotes projects related to sustainability and the cultural promotion of wine.

The vineyards are located on the hills of Rocca Bernarda in the Colli Orientali del Friuli. The soils mentioned for some wines are composed of marl and sandstone with hillside exposure, elements that contribute to the distinctive character of the wines produced.
