Descrizione

The Friuli Colli Orientali DOC Pignolo from Torre Rosazza is born in one of the most suitable areas of Friuli Venezia Giulia, where the clayey hilly soils and mild climate favor the cultivation of native grape varieties. The Pignolo, rare and distinctive, here expresses the best of its character with an elegant and structured wine, the result of careful vinification and aging in wood that enhances its aromatic complexity and tannic softness.

In the glass, it shows an intense ruby color, while the bouquet opens with notes of ripe red fruits, sweet spices, and subtle balsamic hints, a sign of long care in the cellar. The palate confirms its richness, with a balance between lively acidity and velvety tannins, ensuring a harmonious and pleasantly enveloping persistence.

Perfect with red meats, braised dishes, and aged cheeses, this Pignolo from Torre Rosazza coherently and finely narrates the Friulian territory, representing a refined choice for those seeking a wine with authentic character and strong personality.
