Description
What kind of wine it is
Myo I Fiori di Leonie by Zorzettig is a still white wine with a Denomination of Controlled Origin that expresses the essence of the Colli Orientali del Friuli, in the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region. This blend combines Friulano, Pinot Bianco and Sauvignon varieties, presenting a straw yellow colour with golden highlights. The bouquet offers notes of Golden apple, yellow peach, white flowers and citrus, while on the palate it is harmonious, savoury and creamy. The winemaking process involves fermentation in steel and ageing on the lees, ensuring a prolonged persistence.
Where it comes from
The grapes come from the vineyards of Spessa, in the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region, located at around two hundred and fifty metres above sea level. The rows sink their roots into the ponca, the typical soil composed of marl and sandstone of Eocene origin. This particular geological stratification, characterised by a significant clay component, gives the wine a pronounced saline and mineral imprint. The agronomic management follows the principles of sustainable viticulture, constantly working to protect the environment and enhance the precious biodiversity present in each individual plot.
How it is produced
Production begins with manual harvesting and meticulous selection of the bunches. The must undergoes a cold maceration for twelve hours, then completes fermentation in stainless steel tanks. To enrich the taste complexity while maintaining freshness, the wine undergoes ageing on the lees for six months, with periodic bâtonnage. Maturation continues harmoniously between steel and partly in wooden barrels, concluding with six months of bottle ageing.
History and Curiosities
Born from the clayey ponca of the Eastern Hills of Friuli, Myo I Fiori di Leonie 2022 by Zorzettig is a tribute to excellence and sustainable viticulture. In the vineyards of Spessa, the grapes are hand-harvested with full respect for the precious local biodiversity. The long ageing of six months on the lees with bâtonnage, followed by resting in the bottle, shapes its enveloping and savoury structure. A multi-award-winning oenological masterpiece, celebrated by 94 points from Luca Maroni, the Tre Bicchieri from Gambero Rosso and the 5 Grappoli from Bibenda.
