Friulano Riserva Limited Edition

€29,40

Name: DOC Friuli Grave
Variety: 100% Friulano “Biotipo Giallo” with Botrytis Cinerea
Alcohol content: 15.5% vol

Description
The Friulano Riserva Limited Edition is an extraordinary dry wine, the result of the meeting between the Friulano “Biotipo Giallo” and the Botrytis Cinerea, the famous “noble mold”. This combination gives the wine a unique aromatic complexity, balanced by a surprising freshness and savoury. Produced in a limited run of 1,200 numbered bottles, each is accompanied by an identification tag and a vintage certification stamp, making it a rare item for connoisseurs.

Characteristics of wine
The Friulano Riserva Limited Edition comes in a bright golden yellow color. On the palate, it offers a complex and full-bodied structure, balanced by a lively freshness that masks its high alcohol content. The fruity and floral notes evolve into a range of aromatic sensations, culminating in a long-lasting mineral finish.

Bouquet
The olfactory profile is rich and intriguing, with hints of dehydrated fruit like peach and spices like saffron, resulting from the action of Botrytis Cinerea. This “noble mold” enriches the wine with complex aromas, typical of “botritizzati” wines, which include notes of dried fruits and sweet spices.

Food pairing
Thanks to its complexity and structure, the Friulano Riserva Limited Edition goes perfectly with tasty and slightly spicy dishes. It is ideal with blue or seasoned cheeses, rich first courses such as cacio and pepper, amatriciana or carbonara, spicy white meats and vegetable soups accompanied by crustaceans. It is also suitable to accompany desserts with salty or acidic components, such as salted caramel or sour cream.

Discover the perfect harmony between Friulano and Botrytis Cinerea and let yourself be conquered by an unprecedented tasting experience.

Description

Vineyard
The Friulano “Biotipo Giallo” vines were planted in 1926, on a sandy ground enriched by about 15% of stones. This terroir promotes excellent drainage and contributes to give the wine its typical minerality and structure.

 

Harvest
The harvest is late, between the end of September and the beginning of October, and is carried out exclusively by hand. The process takes place in several steps, during which not only the bunches are selected but sometimes also the individual berries. Only those completely infused by Botrytis Cinerea are harvested, since a not well developed or excessively evolved mould would compromise the typical aromatic profile of “botritizated” wines. This meticulous process can take several weeks.

 

Vinification and ageing
After soft pressing, the must is fermented and then aged for about a year and a half in oak barrels aged five years. The percentage of grapes affected by Botrytis varies depending on the climatic conditions of the vintage, making each production unique and unrepeatable. In fact, due to weather conditions, the production of this wine is not always possible.
