Description

Istrian Malvasia, also called Friulian, occupies a prestigious position in the large Malvasia family which has somewhat strange and uncertain origins. It is believed that in 1300, during the rule of the Venetian Republic, the city's merchants returning from the Peloponnese brought these vines with them. From there they spread along the entire Adriatic coast, from Dalmatia to Istria up to the karst hills of the Gulf of Trieste and the Eocene hills of eastern Friuli.

The Collio hills of Eocene origin are largely made up of marl and sandstone, and thanks to a favorable microclimate given by the proximity of the sea, they make them one of the most suitable areas for highlighting the best qualitative characteristics of this vine.

The vineyard is located in the highest areas, south/south-east of Mount Quarin in Cormons.

The harvest is carried out manually in the last ten days of September, fermentation takes place on the skins at a controlled temperature for approximately 7 days. After racking, fermentation continues in oak tonneaus, the resulting wine remains to refine on the noble lees for 12 months.

The color of the wine is a bright golden yellow. On the nose the scent is slightly aromatic, with spicy notes reminiscent of cinnamon and nutmeg, embellished with a complex, floral and fruity bouquet of ripe apricots and yellow-fleshed peach, and sweet hints of candied fruit.

On the palate the taste is intense, with great flavor and richness in the aftertaste, with a long and persistent finish. It pairs perfectly with appetizers, soups in general and fish first courses, but especially shellfish and fish baked with tomatoes and potatoes.
