THE WINE

The Friulano from the Alturis winery is produced with Friulano grapes grown in the vineyards owned by the winery, which are between the plains and hills near Cividale del Friuli in Friuli Venezia Giulia. An indigenous Friulian wine that well represents the winery that produces it.

THE WINEMAKING

The harvest of the grapes is strictly manual and takes place in September. Once in the cellar, the whole bunches get softly pressed, and the must obtained is left to decant statically. The wine then ages in steel tanks on the yeasts at a controlled temperature for a period that varies depending on the production year. After bottling, the wine rests for a few months in the cellar before being placed on the market.

THE TASTING

Straw yellow with greenish reflections. The aroma is intense and complex with pleasant hints of white flowers, which alternate well with notes of lime honey to finish with fruity puffs of pear. Soft and fresh on the palate with a good correspondence between aromas and flavours. It closes with a pleasant taste of bitter almonds, typical of this vine. Persistent

FOOD PAIRINGS

Excellent as an aperitif, it goes well with fish and soft cheeses. Try it with San Daniele raw ham.
