Florea

White wine | I.G.T. Venezia Giulia

Grapes
Sauvignon Rytos, Piwi variety.

Vineyard
The fields of the Estate, in the municipality of Buttrio (Udine), ideal location for excellent wine making. The C.D.O. (controlled denomination of origin) is Friuli Colli Orientali. The soil is composed of marl and sandstone with a predominantly clayey component. Crop protection is low environmental impact, focussing on traditional product with a short persistence, used according to the agro-alimentary programme for crop protection.

Vinification
At a controlled temperature, in order to maximize the extraction of all of the noble components from the skin.

Ageing
In bottle, in our 16th century underground cellar. Appearance Intense and brilliant straw yellow, edged with golden hues. Nose Intense and tropical, associated with strong minerality. It has a wide and pleasant aromatic framework with wildflowers, orange blossom, citrus fruits, yellow peach, saffron and aromatic herbs. The finish is elegant with notes of melted butter, vanilla and pastry.

Palate
It expresses great personality and character. Coherent with the nose, supported by a full body and by an excellent acidic structure which guarantees an excellent crispness. Balanced and complex, with a longlasting finish and a good minerality.

Food pairing
Excellent with appetisers, first courses, white meats and all fish courses such as fish soufflés, frilled tuna or seabass baked in foil.

Longevity
Reaches maximum expression of the vine in the first two/three years and then, under suitable preservation conditions, can exceed five years in the bottle.

Service
Best served chilled (12°C).
