Tunella Friulano Friuli Colli Orientali DOP 2023

Welcome to Tunella Friulano, a wine that embodies the essence of the East Frisian hills. The soils from which our grapes originate are characterized by marl and sandstone, known as "Ponca." These give our wine its unique mineral notes and contribute to the complexity of its character.

The grapes used are exclusively Friulano, an indigenous variety prized for its versatility and delicate flavor. The vineyards are cultivated according to the Friulian short mono-trellis system, which allows for intensive care and optimal ripening of the grapes. The harvest takes place with great care in the second week of September, when the grapes reach their peak ripeness.

• Flavor: Pears, bitter almonds, acacia blossoms, wildflowers
• Scent: Floral, fruity, soft, velvety, textured
• Colour : Light straw yellow with greenish reflections

In winemaking, particular emphasis is placed on preserving the purity and intensity of the aromas. The grapes are gently destemmed and carefully pressed. Slow fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks under strict temperature control, resulting in a wine with a robust character and delicate fragrance. The bâttonnage technique adds further texture and complexity.
