This direct import was "discovered" for us by the same broker who sells us Pasquiers. A small family-run operation
With 40 ha in DOC Friuli, they care about the bees (SNQP = sustainable certification for the wines / close to organic certification/ and also for workers ).
They are located in Friuli Venezia Giulia.
From our friends at the winery:
"The lower Friuli area is a landscape particularly favourable to the cultivation of vine. This is possible due to the proximity to the Adriatic Sea that mitigates the temperatures, but also due to the presence of the mountain range of the Julian Prealps that divert the cold northern currents away"
A supple, friendly rosé, with a chalky mineral thread buoying the creamy palate as it runs through jasmine, rose petal and red fruit notes. Grenache, Rolle and Cinsault. Drink now.
Vibrant, red-fruit-oriented nose with grilled spices and herbs. A hint of olives. Very juicy and bright on the palate with a lively expression of fruit. Tannins are even and fine-grained. A very drinkable cabernet sauvignon here. Drink now.
