Descrizione

In the heart of Friuli Venezia Giulia, Cantina Erzetiĉ expresses the elegance and freshness of Pinot Bianco with its Amfora Sivi Pinot. This wine is born from selected vineyards, where the grape variety is cultivated with sustainable methods and careful vinification in terracotta amphorae, an element that gives uniqueness and a enveloping structure.

The contact with the skins during maceration gives the wine a delicate tannic texture and a bright golden color. On the nose, intense aromas of apple, white flowers, and light notes of toasted almond open up, harmoniously merging with the typical mineral scents of the Friulian hilly territory.

On the palate it is fresh and savory, with a vibrant persistence that accompanies every sip. Perfect paired with rich fish dishes, white meats, or soft cheeses, Amfora Sivi Pinot is an invitation to discover the authenticity and tradition of the territory through a refined sensory experience.

Winery history

The Erzetič family has been in Višnjevik for centuries: the family estate has documented historical roots dating back to 1725 and in recent decades has been revitalised by the younger generations. The winery blends the traditional heritage of terraced vineyards with investments in the cellar and projects to transition to ecological practices.

Production philosophy

The approach combines respect for the land with contemporary techniques: careful viticultural practices, stainless-steel vinification for fresh wines, and selected ageing in oak barrels and large buried amphorae to express terroir and longevity.

Terroir and vineyards

Situated in Višnjevik, Goriška Brda, the estate cultivates terraced vineyards on soils rich in marls and laporti, with flysch formations. The microclimate is influenced by the proximity of the Adriatic Sea and alpine currents, factors that contribute to the minerality and acidity typical of the local wines.

Awards and recognitions

The winery has received recognition in international competitions; public listings include medals at the Decanter World Wine Awards for some labels, including the Rebula in some editions.
