The grapes are de-stemmed first and then crushed, after cooling to 5-7° C, they are placed in special maceration tanks for 12-24 hours (cryomaceration) before being softly pressed.The must thus obtained is left for 8-12 hours to settle to eliminate the heavier parts before being sent for alcoholic fermentation by means of selected yeasts at a controlled temperature of 18-19° C.After about 10-12 days of alcoholic fermentation and relative depletion of the sugars in the must, it is decanted through which the heavier deposits that were created during fermentation move away and all the finer and lighter parts are preserved (fine).After a period of 5-6 months of ageing in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature with regular periodic bâtonnage, the wine, now complete, is prepared for bottling.

Colour straw yellow with greenish hues. The bouquet is intense but elegant and subdued notes of grapefruit peel, sage, marjoram, white peach, ripe banana. On the palate it is complete, full and elegant with a great balance of tactile-palatal perception; it has great character, with all the aromatic notes accompanied by acid and fresh sensations, which blend together in a harmony of taste and enjoyment.

It is suitable to accompany asparagus, eggs, cod salad, Friulian cjarsons with herbs.
