The Winemaking
The production of Friulano Dolée begins with de-stemming and cold skin maceration at 8°C to enhance varietal aromas. This is followed by static cold clarification and alcoholic fermentation, which occurs at controlled temperatures between 16 and 19°C with selected yeasts, lasting 18 days. Malolactic fermentation is not performed, preserving the wine’s original freshness. The elevage takes place on natural lees for 9 months, followed by an 8-month bottle aging period to ensure a perfect evolution of aromas and flavors.
Tasting the wine of the winery
Friulano Dolée presents a straw-yellow color with golden reflections. On the nose, it offers fine and elegant notes of white fruit, with evident hints of pineapple and vanilla, which precede an intense and full-bodied taste. On the palate, the wine is elegant and refined, with medium persistence that invites the discovery of every nuance.
Food Pairings
This wine pairs perfectly with Friulian cuisine dishes, such as San Daniele prosciutto and fresh cheeses. It is also excellent with fish and shellfish dishes, enhancing the delicacy of white meats and mushroom-based preparations.
