Description
What kind of wine it is
Masut da Rive Isonzo Friulano is a still white wine with a straw yellow colour and subtle greenish highlights. Its aromatic profile stands out for its intense tomato leaf notes and delicate hints of bergamot, set against a background of medicinal herbs and hay. On the palate, it reveals a balanced structure and a finish marked by clear freshness and savouriness, closing with the typical hint of bitter almond. At the table, it naturally enhances seafood starters, asparagus risottos and white meats.
Where it comes from
This white wine originates from the Isonzo area, a region in Friuli-Venezia Giulia highly suited to viticulture. Its production is a faithful expression of the Friuli Isonzo area, reflecting its unique soil and climate characteristics. The Friulano grapes, also known as Sauvignon Vert, grow on vines over thirty years old trained using the simple Guyot system. Masut da Rive interprets its native environment with great precision, offering an authentic representation of the grape variety through meticulous vineyard work.
How it is produced
The process begins with a rigorous manual harvest and selection of the bunches. To preserve the aromatic integrity, the whole grapes undergo gentle pressing and night-time cryomaceration. The must is clarified by static cold settling before fermentation at a controlled temperature. This is followed by a prolonged ageing on the lees in stainless steel tanks, an essential step to enrich the body and complexity of the wine without altering its natural varietal freshness.
History and Curiosities
In the heart of Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Masut da Rive Isonzo Friulano embodies the perfect synergy between traditional knowledge and contemporary taste, aimed at enhancing the terroir. Carefully crafted by oenologists Fabrizio and Marco Gallo, this wine is produced from vines over thirty years old, harvested by hand. A meticulous process of night-time cryomaceration with decanting at low temperatures preserves its original aromatic intensity; the subsequent and prolonged ageing on the lees in steel finally gives this white wine an enveloping structure, celebrating the authentic identity of the Isonzo.
