THE WINE

The Jiasik Bianco of the Borgo San Daniele winery is a blend of Riesling and Malvasia grapes grown in Giassico, a small village where the air still smells of Austro-Hungarian Empire. We are located in the municipality of Cormons in Friuli Venezia Giulia.

THE WINEMAKING

After manual harvesting, only the selected grapes are brought to the cellar. The winemaking is very special in fact, the temperature of the whole bunch is lowered to the point that the skin of the grape reaches the glaciation. After which, at least 3/4 hours is waited for the temperature to rise, until it reaches 7-8 ° C. At this point the grapes are softly pressed. The must then ferments at a controlled temperature of 16-18 ° C. The wine rests on the lees with weekly batonage and after bottling it remains in the cellar for at least 4 months before being placed on the market.

THE TASTING

Straw yellow . The aroma is fresh with pleasant hints of flowers that alternate well with notes of fresh fruit, closing with light mineral puffs. Jiasik is characterized by its oriental note of ginger. Soft and fruity on the palate with a balanced acidity. It maintains the aromatic strength of Riesling (green pepper) and the persuasiveness of Malvasia.
