Descrizione

A half wine, for a flavor that calling it particular is almost a denial. One of the flagships of Friulian wine production, an extremely precious wine that peasant wisdom has been able to obtain from a fragile vine to be lovingly cultivated to obtain fruits that are a true gift of nature.

0.5L of pure gold color, with a delicate and enveloping scent that almost looks like honey. With hints of white peach.

For lovers of sweet wines, this is "the expression of sugar" in the mouth. On the palate it fascinates with its compact texture, pleasant and intense sweetness.

The Cellar and the Estate: Torre Rosazza

As with many territories where great wines are produced, the Romans also brought the culture of grapevine and wine to the Friulian hills. From that first contact with antiquity, the Rosazzo area was found to be particularly flourishing and suitable for vine farming. And so the tradition was handed down and handed down by the Benedictine monks of the Abbey of Rosazzo. The territory of Torre Rosazza is fully part of a privileged micro-area of the Colli Orientali del Friuli, which today is recognized with the name Rosazzo.
