Descrizione

The harvest takes place manually during the optimal ripening period in September. The winemaking is carried out in thermoregulated stainless steel containers, kept at a controlled temperature between 16°C and 20°C for a period of 15-20 days. Part of the process takes place in barriques and tonneaux. Subsequently, the wine refines its character during storage in the cellar in stainless steel tanks at a constant temperature between 12°C and 15°C, maintaining contact with its fine lees. Stabilization takes place in cold storage before bottling.

The color of this wine is straw yellow with greenish reflections. The scent is delicately floral and fruity, with notes of green apple. On the palate, it manifests itself with a dry, fresh and slightly citrine profile, characterized by a generous structure and a delicate persistence.

This wine lends itself magnificently to accompanying vegetable soups and risottos, fish-based dishes (both baked and boiled), white meats, smoked cured meats and ricotta.

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.
