THE WINE
The Quality sparkling wine Brut of the Del Poggio winery is part of the Vulpes line; this line takes its name from the stream that crosses the property and recalls the presence of the typical animals of the Friulian hills, the foxes. This classic method is the wine the winery creates to commemorate the company’s founder Mario Colla who in 1977 bought a part of today’s estate to build a summer house. In addition to the home, he also made a cellar; everything started from that cellar.
This sparkling wine is made with 100% Pinot Bianco grapes grown in the vineyards owned by the winery that are located in the municipality of Fagagna in the Friuli DOC.
THE WINEMAKING
The grape harvest is strictly manual and occurs between the end of August and the beginning of September. Once in the cellar, the wine-making starts with the grapes’ soft pressing, followed by the steel fermentation at a controlled temperature. The wine then ages in steel tanks; In the spring following the harvest, the wine goes in the autoclave for the second fermentation,
