Borgo Conventi Friulano

Collio DOC, Friuli Venezia Giulia

Tasting Notes

Straw yellow in color with slight golden highlights. On the nose it has great intensity and complexity. It is invitingly fragrant and fruit-driven with notes of alpine flowers and a pleasant hint of almond. In the mouth it is fresh and well balanced with a nice backbone and a long aromatic finish.

Perfect as an aperitif. It complements hard cheeses, San Daniele Prosciutto, scampi, shrimps and raw fish dishes, first course pastas and risottos with vegetables, and chicken-based dishes.

Fermentation: Light crushing followed by temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks for ten days. A variably small percentage of selected grapes undergoes cold maceration before light crushing.
Aging: Once fermentation is completed the wine remains on the fine lees until spring, when it is bottled.

    "Aromas of cooked peaches and apples with some apricots follow through to a medium body with dried fruit and a medium, round-textured finish. Drink now."

    "A little lifted with some marzipan and cooked apples, but I like the intensity. Full-bodied and textured, but turns bruised on the finish. Drink now."

    "Aromas of yellow stone fruit, spring wildflower and Alpine herb lead the nose. Elegant and linear, the vibrant, savory palate offers yellow peach, apricot and a hint of graphite alongside bright acidity. It closes on an almond note."
