The Story
Still white wine from Friuli-Venezia Giulia, 13% ABV, produced by Bosco del Merlo. 100% Friulano/Sauvignon Vert. 0.75 L bottle, 2024 vintage. A wine that embodies the essence of Friuli, with a modern interpretation of Friulano. The grapes are gently pressed to obtain the free-run must, which undergoes static decantation. The clarified must then ferments in stainless steel at a controlled temperature of 16-18°C (60-64°F) to enhance the varietal's characteristics. The wine then ages on its lees for four months, again in stainless steel, during which time batonnage is performed to enrich the wine's aromatic profile. Notes of yellow fruit, such as peach, emerge on the nose, accompanied by characteristic vegetal notes, white flowers, and almond. It is yellow in color, enhanced by greenish highlights. On the palate, the wine is fresh, savoury and well-structured, with a pleasant aftertaste of bitter almond, typical of the variety.
