Enquiry
This wine is made from Friulano grapes grown in vineyards in the lower area of Cormons. Like many other Italian native grape varieties, it has a flavour far removed from the so-called international taste, but this does not make it a minor wine.
The fruity notes of apples, peaches and apricots are replaced by hazelnuts and bitter almonds.
It is a glycerine-rich wine with firm body, characterised by light tannins reminiscent of liquorice.
It has a slightly bitter aftertaste, but surprisingly this gives it finesse and nobility.
It is always a handsome greenish colour.
