Descrizione

Friulano Collio DOC - Pighin represents an authentic tribute to the winemaking tradition of Friuli-Venezia Giulia, a region renowned for the quality of its white wines. Made from Friulano grapes, an indigenous variety capable of expressing intense and distinctive aromas, this wine presents a bright straw yellow color and a bouquet that evokes notes of almond, white flowers, and delicate herbal hints. On the palate, it is harmonious and enveloping, characterized by a pleasant freshness and a persistent finish that invites another sip.

The Collio, an area suitable for growing aromatic grapes, imparts a balanced gustatory complexity to Friulano of Pighin, thanks also to the aging method that preserves the wine's natural freshness. It is ideal as a companion to appetizers, vegetable-based first courses or white meats, and perfect to be enjoyed young, but also after a few months of aging in the bottle.

Winery history

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.
