THE WINE

The Friulano Colvierie of the Sara & Sara winery is produced with 100% Friulano grapes grown in the vineyards owned by the winery and located in Savorgnano in Torre in the province of Udine and in particular in the vineyard called Colvierte from which it takes its name.. We are about 180-350 meters above sea level, and here the hilly terrain is rich in marl and sandstone.

Another essential characteristic of this wine is that it is produced only in those years when the grapes have an excellent degree of acidity.

The winery is organic, from the vineyard to the cellar. There is no use of herbicides, only the mowing of the grass,  and for the defence of the territory, only natural methods are practised.

There are no clarifications or stabilizers in the wines. The winery uses only natural decanting, and some wines are not even filtered.

In the chosen vintages, the winery produces 2500 bottles.

THE WINEMAKING

The grapes are harvested by hand and placed in small boxes. Once in the cellar, the winemaking starts with a soft pressing of the whole grapes and a subsequent decanting, which lasts at least 24 hours. Fermentation takes place at natural temperature with only the use of wild yeasts that are periodically kept in suspension. The wine ages for at least ten months in French oak tonneaux and another six months in stainless steel tanks. After bottling, which takes place without filtration, the wine rests for another five months in the cellar before being placed on the market.

THE TASTING

Straw yellow. The aroma is intense and complex but also very delicate, with pleasant notes of well-ripe fruit that alternate with hints of aromatic herbs to finish with the characteristic scent of bitter almond. This wine is soft and round on the palate, with a pleasant correspondence between aromas and flavour. The Friulano of the Sara & Sara winery fully represents the most representative grape variety of Friuli Venezia Giulia.

FOOD PAIRINGS

Perfect as an aperitif, it goes well with cold cuts, fish, and white meats. Try it with San Daniele raw ham.
