Descrizione

Richenza is a Venezia Giulia IGT white wine produced by Vigna Petrussa. This refined cuvée combines Friulano, Istrian Malvasia, Rhine Riesling and Picolit from old native vines. It has an elegant golden-yellow colour in the glass. The nose is fine, persistent and harmonious, while the palate is soft and velvety, supported by pronounced structure and a lingering finish. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperature, preserving the wine’s balance and aromatic expression.

The wine is aged for 18 months in French oak barriques and then rests for a further 6 months in bottle. This maturation contributes to its complexity and harmony. Richenza reaches maturity after approximately three years from the harvest, with its ideal ageing plateau between the fifth and sixth year. Serve at 8-10 °C with appetisers, creamy soups, shellfish, roasted fish, fermented cheeses, tartare, sushi, tempura, ceviche and dim sum. A structured, elegant white wine designed to bring depth and persistence to the table.

Winery history

Three generations of women have led the winery: the pioneer Giuseppina, her daughter Hilde and her granddaughter Francesca. The family's roots date back to the 19th century; since the 1990s Hilde has relaunched the winery, prioritizing indigenous grape varieties, restructuring the vineyards and adopting cultivation practices aimed at enhancing the terroir.

Production philosophy

Production focused on respect for the land, low-impact practices and wines that express the typical character of the local grapes. The estate states that it focuses on sustainability, spontaneous fermentations and the use of techniques that limit interventions in the vineyard and cellar.

Terroir and vineyards

Located in Prepotto, in the Colli Orientali del Friuli subzone. Vineyards face the Valle del Judrio on ponka soils, influenced by Adriatic breezes and significant diurnal temperature variations that promote the aromatic ripening of the grapes.

Awards and recognitions

Recognitions reported in public sources include gold medals at local competitions and mentions and awards in international guides and competitions; the winery's Schioppettino is cited among the wines awarded in specialist guides.
