Description
What kind of wine is it
Friulano Zorzettig is a still white wine produced in Friuli-Venezia Giulia from Friulano grapes, representing the Friuli denomination. To the eye, it displays a straw yellow colour with greenish highlights, while the intense and complex bouquet reveals floral and citrus notes, supported by a pronounced minerality. It stands out for its balanced and savoury profile, with a slight residual sweetness and the typical almond finish.
Where does it come from
This wine originates from the Colli Orientali del Friuli, a prime area for local varieties. The vines sink their roots into marl and sandstone soils of Eocene origin, derived from ancient seabeds. This specific geological composition is a key element in the wine's style, giving it a distinct minerality and a lively savoury sensation.
How is it produced
Vinification begins with a manual harvest, combined with a rigorous selection of bunches to ensure perfectly intact grapes. Zorzettig works with great attention to environmental sustainability and is dedicated to the recovery of native vineyards. The process yields an elegant white, with a soft entry and measured freshness, supported by the right acidity. Thanks to this careful craftsmanship, the wine has an ageing potential of 3-5 years.
History and Curiosities
