TASTING NOTES

Production

The two Friulano de I Clivi crus are located in two distinct vineyards, a few kilometres apart, which fall within two different appellations of origin and also in two separate provinces: one in the Collio Goriziano and the other in the Colli Orientali del Friuli, covering a total area of 12 hectares. These two vineyards are named Brazan and Galea respectively and are rooted in soils whose geological composition is practically identical; it is therefore the microclimate, linked mainly to the winds, that is the determining factor in the differences in character perceptible in the wines. Galea comes from 70-year-old vines. Like Brazan, it follows a production process that takes place entirely in stainless steel, with an 18-month ageing on the fine lees, during which the white wine is enriched with aromatic and flavour components. 100ml: E = 330kJ/79kcal

Organoleptic Characteristics

The nose immediately evokes flint and cut grass, before giving way to a dense, structured palate, consistently underpinned by a freshness and savouriness that make this a product of the highest quality.

Occasion and Pairing

A bottle to uncork for an aperitif with friends, as well as to pair with shellfish and fish dishes, including river fish, or elaborate first courses.

Serving Temperature

THE WINERY

I Clivi

Very old and mostly indigenous vines are to be found in the vineyards of i Clivi, a point of reference in the production of Ribolla Gialla in Friuli Venezia Giulia. Most are between 40 and 60 years old, but in some plots there are specimens not far from a century old. Sinking their roots into sandstone soil, they have a low yield per hectare, which guarantees the natural concentration and complexity of their fruit. Guarding such an important heritage, the Zanusso family has made territoriality and longevity the keywords of its business since 1996. The property's twelve hectares are divided into two DOC zones with different microclimates and are cultivated with different varieties: Ribolla Gialla, Friulano, Verduzzo and Malvasia. In the I Clivi winery, the grapes are processed avoiding the use of machinery as much as possible in order to preserve their integrity and uniqueness. The result of such finesse are white wines and sparkling wines with great personality and character, yet at the same time as light as a caress for the palate. Name and address of producer/distributor: I Clivi - Loc. Gramogliano 20, 33040 Corno di Rosazzo UD. Products from this winery should be stored in a cool, dry place away from heat sources.
