Still White Wine from 100% Malvasia.
The Malvasia Istriana is a vine belonging to the great Malvasia family of Hellenic origin and its cultivation in Friuli-Venezia Giulia dates back to 300 AD.
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 Malvasia 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: 2015
Ageing
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): 13.5% vol
Total tartaric acid (vintage 2021): 5.70 g/L
TASTING NOTES
A 70-year-old vineyard that is pampered until the harvest of its fruits, which is done manually, gives life to Malvasia. Istrian Malvasia, the wine that perhaps best expresses our land. With a straw-yellow color and golden reflections, the nose immediately makes us understand the typical floral structure, you can perceive notes of orange blossom typical of the area from which this vine comes.
By drinking it you can savour notes of bitter almond, finely citrus, persistent, complex.
Tasting it we find ourselves walking in a stable meadow, or in one of those ancient meadows that renew the tradition of wild flowers and wild herbs of which Friuli still manages to guarantee its survival.
SERVING SUGGESTIONS
Excellent fish wines (pasta, risotto with seafood, both roasted and salted crustaceans).
Best serving temperature: 10-12 °C
Still Red Wine from 100% Cabernet Franc that when it arrived in Italy from France, more precisely from the Gironde, it had a high-sounding name: Carménère! Tuscany and Friuli are the paradises of this wine with a distinctly herbaceous flavor.
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 Cabernet Franc is grown in the area on the left side of the Isonzo river is characterized by moderately deep soils, sometimes even thin, with a generally frequent skeleton, with a loose or clayey texture, sub-alkaline or neutral, poorly calcareous or non-calcareous, with rapid to good drainage.
The exposure is south-south-east. First year produced: 2009
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): 5.40 g/L
TASTING NOTES
Ruby red in color but with brilliant purple reflections, our Cabernet Franc is immediately fresh and herbaceous on the nose.
Pausing, however, we can distinguish a complexity of aromas that lead to the memory of violets, blackberries and a peppery tip.
When tasted, you can find it! Fresh, fruity, persistent, all details that make us understand how sincere it is, how much we have left this grape free to express itself.
SERVING SUGGESTIONS
To combine with game or roasts, especially pork and let yourself be amazed. It will be interesting to involve this wine with Japanese dishes such as Rafute, a traditional Japanese dish originating from Okinawa, or the Gyoza, fried ravioli stuffed with spring onion, marinated pork and various spices dominated by black pepper.
Best serving temperature: 18-20 °C
