THE WINE

The Friulano of the Borgo San Daniele winery is produced with 100% Friulano grapes grown in Braida della Colubice in the municipality of Cormons in Friuli Venezia Giulia. It is a native grape variety, a high level wine that cannot be missing in your cellar.

THE WINEMAKING

After manual harvesting, only the selected grapes are brought to the cellar for winemaking. A short maceration is followed by a soft pressing. Fermentation takes place in steel at a controlled temperature. As for the refinement, the wine rests on the yeasts in a micro-oxygenation environment until the spring following the harvest. 20% in oak barrels and the remaining 80% in steel.

THE TASTING

Straw yellow. The aroma is fresh, with pleasant hints of wildflowers that leave room for notes of candied orange peel. Soft and fresh on the palate; excellent persistence with a pleasant almond aftertaste, typical of this vine.

FOOD PAIRINGS

It goes well with fish, white meat and soft cheeses but also with vegetable soups. Must try with seafood risotto.

THE WINERY

Borgo San Daniele is a winery made up of people, two in particular, the Alessandra and Mauro Mauri (brother and sister). As children, Alessandra and Mauro spent a lot of time with their grandparents. The grandparents were farmers and winemakers and owned a small company where everyone did a bit of everything.  The time spent with the grandparents allowed Alessandra and Mauro to fall in love with farming and winemaking to the point that Alessandra undertook her studies as an agricultural expert and Mauro in oenology and viticulture… go to the winery page
