Elegant & Fragrant
A traditional wine with remarkable personality and strong territorial identity, crafted from Friulano grapes grown on ventilated hillside vineyards with marl soils of Eocene origin. After gentle pressing and brief settling without sulfur dioxide, fermentation takes place in stainless steel with pied de cuve at controlled temperature, followed by 8 months of refinement on the lees. Bright straw yellow with golden reflections, it offers fresh and fragrant aromas of passion fruit and wild field flowers, while the palate is elegant and floral with a long, refreshing acidity and a distinctive green almond finish.
About the Winery
Mario Schiopetto
“For me, wine is life.”
- Mario Schiopetto
Mario Schiopetto was part of a group of producers who worked from the end of the 1960s through to the 1970s to improve and modernize the methods of Italian wine production. In 1965, Mario bottled his first “Tocai” thus, giving birth to the era of modern white wine in Friuli and transforming the conception of Italian white wine forever.
