The Friulano of the Castello di Spessa winery

The Friulano of the Castello di Spessa winery is the result of collaboration with the oenologist Enrico Paternoster, from Trentino Alto Adige. This collaboration combines freshness and refinement with structure and longevity to all the wines of the cellar. The vineyards are located in Cormons in the heart of the Friuli DOC region, not far from the border with Slovenia, where the soil is mainly composed of clay and sand with gravel.
