Pinot Bianco (Pinot Blanc)

Still White Wine from International 100% Pinot Bianco grapes, today very rare in Friuli Venezia Giulia, Italy.

TYPE OF SOIL 
We cultivate, vinify and dream in the DOC Friuli Isonzo area in the eastern part of Friuli Venezia Giulia. The Doc Friuli Isonzo is a green area that includes a flat territory on the banks of the Rivers Isonzo and Judrio, gently sloping from the hills of the Collio and the Karst towards the Adriatic Sea. 

The Pinot Blanc is grown behind the manor house near the old vegetable garden where grandfather, Severino Brumat, planted the vegetables that enriched the peasant table; there are vineyards that have seen more than 50-70 years of harvests. The terroir is composed of colluvial deposits, red earth and other types coming from floods of other waterways such as Versa and Torre.
The exposure is south-south-east. First year produced: 1963

AGING
The wine is left to age on the lees in stainless steel tanks for about 10 months and a few months in the bottle.
Alcohol content (vintage 2021): 13% vol
Total tartaric acid (vintage 2021): 4.50 g/L

TASTING NOTES 
One of the most elegant wines, with a straw yellow color and green reflections, the nose is immediately floral and fresh. 
Its elegant bouquet of apple, pear and lemon, together with the notes of hazelnut and hay flowers, make it a very versatile wine in combinations. It has a lively acidity and a refinement of flavors, one gets the impression of being on the bank of a river.

SERVING SUGGESTIONS
Amazingly good with fish dishes but try it, too, with mushroom or truffle first courses. 
Perfect for the Japanese cuisine.

Best serving temperature: 10-12 °C
