FRIULI COLLI ORIENTALI DOP
Friulano San Pietro I Clivi is an autochthonous wine “glove-treated” and he deserves it. Very old vineyard, about 60 years, on Eocene marl soil, facing south-east on the hills of Corno di Rosazzo, Udine. Here the flysch of Cormons is common and thanks to the careful vinification it gives us an authentic wine, to be listened to in silence for the depths it reaches without ever raising its voice. The rest is experimentation and technique, the result of passion and dedication. The grapes are harvested by hand and pressed whole at only 1.2 bar.
Only the purest flower must is extracted and left to decant in steel for one night. Separated from the coarse lees, the must begins its natural fermentation without the addition of yeast.This is followed by ageing on fine lees left in suspension for about 6-8 months depending on the vintage. The wine matures and is prepared for bottling, with a light filtration and minimum sulphation.
Delicately aromatic, floral and herbaceous. Excellent acidity that finds its balance in the marked minerality. The nutty finish that refers to the almond gives us an almost smoky, stone-like hint left in the sun.
