Poggio Bello Friulano

Description

Description: more than any other this wine truly expresses the territory for which it was named. In fact in friuli ‘the friuliano’ (which used to be called tocai) is practically a synonym for white wine. Previously known as ‘savignonassa’ due to its similarities to sauvignon it is destined to become standard bearer for enology in friuli. Vinification: the de-stemmed grapes are softly squeezed and undergo low-temperature contact. Its alcoholic fermentation occurs in steel at the constant temperature of 16°c. One it has undergone malolactic fermentation it is left in yeast for approximately four months. Successively it’s bottled and left to rest in glass for at least two months. Wine: moderately intense straw-yellow. Its mineral scent combines with the smell of a cultivated garden (sage flowers). It wins over the palate with full-bodied aromatic sensations that don’t only recall fruit but more complex sensations. It finishes with the sharp sensation of toasted almonds.
