Description
Cantina Puiatti’s approach to producing wines in northern Italy’s Friuli region is defined by what they do not do: no oak, no over-ripening, no maceration, no inoculation, and no oxidation. This simple approach in limiting intervention results in extraordinarily complex wines, which showcase variety, typicity and purity. Bordered by Slovenia, Austria, and the Adriatic sea, the Friuli wine region benefits from both maritime and continental climates. The grapes are harvested by hand in the second week of September. Fermentation takes place off skins in stainless steel at a temperature of 70°F. Malolactic fermentation is not carried out. The wine is aged in stainless steel tanks for four months.
Luminous pale lemon color with a complex nose of white peach, pear, and stone fruit. The palate is articulated, rhythmic, with a long finish.
