Friulano Confinis – Francesco Rotolo – 2023

The wine Friulano Confinis from Francesco Rotolo winery

This Friulano, like all Confinis wines, is relatively young; in fact, the winery was founded in 2017 from the will of Francesco Rotolo, who, in addition to being a young winemaker, is also a son of art; in fact, his family created two wineries, Mario Schiopetto and Volpe Pasini.

Francesco selected a few hectares of hills between Capriva del Friuli and Cormons where, thanks to his experience, he wants to create fresh and pleasant wines with low alcohol content.

The Friulian vine gives its best on the Gorizia Collio; thanks to the soils rich in marl and sandstone, the grapes are full of fragrant aromas.

THE WINEMAKING

The harvest is strictly manual and occurs in the first ten days of September. Once in the cellar, the must ferments in steel for a period ranging between 10 and 12 days at a controlled temperature of 15/16° C. The wine ages in steel for about seven months, and after bottling, it rests in the cellar for a few months before being placed on the market.

Tasting the wine by Francesco Rotolo

FOOD PAIRINGS

Perfect as an aperitif, it goes well with cured meats, vegetables and fish. Try it with Italian frittata.
