2022 Scarbolo Friulano Friuli Venezia Giulia

WSI94 Brilliant gold color. Bouquet of pastry cream, wild flowers and almonds. On the palate shows elegance with structure, revealing characteristic notes of sweet and bitter almonds. Pairs perfectly with cured fatty meats, strong-flavored seafood dishes and hearty soups. 100% Tocai Friulano hand-harvested from the single vineyard “Cusins”; the fruit comes from 12-year-old vines. Once harvested the grapes are softly pressed. The juice is cooled and decants naturally, eliminating particles resulting from vinification. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature and 50% of the wine completes malolactic fermentation. The final wine is aged on its lees for 8 months with regular stirring, followed by another 6 months in bottle prior to release.
