Description
What kind of wine it is
Pignacolusse Campi di Fratti e Monache is a still red wine that embodies the Jermann style through Pignolo, a Friulian grape variety with a strong character. This label was created with the aim of enhancing historic local varieties through careful and targeted processes. Its aromatic profile is deep, revealing pronounced notes of dried plum and carob, enriched by hints of leather, cocoa and coffee. On the palate, it is powerful and robust, well supported by broad and velvety tannins that define its structure. This is an austere and elegant red, capable of offering impeccable persistence every time it is tasted.
Where it comes from
The grapes come from vineyards in Friuli-Venezia Giulia, located between the hills of Rosazzo and Dolegna del Collio. The vines, trained using the Guyot system, grow on soils composed of colluvial material, formed by the Eocene uplift of Monte Fortino. This specific geological nature provides the ideal habitat for Pignolo, an ancient variety skilfully revived over time. The low yields and the influence of the Venezia Giulia region ensure rich and concentrated grapes, capable of transferring all the strength and identity of their terroir of origin into the glass.
How it is produced
Winery practices are designed to enhance the natural structure of the grape variety. The must undergoes long macerations in contact with the skins, followed by fermentation in wooden vats managed with manual punch-downs for optimal extraction. The wine then matures in small barrels of new oak for a period ranging from eighteen to twenty-four months. At the end of this phase, it rests further before being released to the market. This rigorous production choice allows for a complex evolution, giving this red its natural and extraordinary longevity.
History and Curiosities
The Pignacolusse 2019 celebrates the Pignolo, a rare and ancient Friulian variety skilfully revived from the historic vineyards of the Abbey of Rosazzo. Jermann continues the Capo Martino philosophy, enhancing native grape varieties with traditional winemaking methods. As early as the 1930s, this wine was described as unique and luxurious; its name derives from the place name “colusse” and the characteristic pine cone shape of the bunch. Released on the market three years after the harvest, this wine promises a long and fascinating evolution over time.
