Ideal to uncork for pleasant aperitifs or simply to enjoy during informal meals, this Malvasia del Collio from the Pighin winery offers a smooth and easy drink.
The color is a straw yellow. The olfactory bouquet is varietal and fragrant, with hints of tropical fruit, citrus and apple. The aromatic freshness is also reflected in the mouth, where the wine is pleasant and full-bodied. Persistence is good, with a slightly bitter finish.

The story
The Pighin family has been operating in Friuli since the early 1960s. The business expanded through the acquisition of significant holdings in the pianura delle Grave and, later, with a hill estate at Spessa di Capriva in the Collio. The administrative headquarters and the modern winery are located in Risano, while the hill estate at Spessa features terraced vineyards that surround the historic winery and a 17th-century villa used for official receptions and guest accommodation. Over the years the estate has combined tradition with modernization of its facilities and winemaking methods.
Production philosophy
Enhancing the Friulian territory by combining careful vineyard management with cellar technologies: a strong focus on indigenous varieties and the quality of white wines, experimentation with disease-resistant grape varieties and investments in sustainability and innovation, without abandoning traditional winemaking for premium labels.
Terroir and vineyards
The estate operates in two distinct areas: the Friuli Grave plain and the hills of the Collio Goriziano. The Collio vineyards benefit from the region’s typical soils and their hillside exposure, while the parcels on the Grave plain contribute to higher-volume production.
