Toros Friulano Collio originates in northeastern Italy, where the region is known for its significant difference between day and night temperatures. These temperature fluctuations contribute to the development of juicy acidity in the grapes, which becomes a characteristic of the wine. This area is an ideal environment for viticulture due to its favorable climate and terroir.
The grapes used for this wine are harvested by hand, with the care and attention of winemaking beginning at the moment of picking. After harvesting, the grapes are gently pressed. The next step in the process is alcoholic fermentation, which takes place in stainless steel tanks. This fermentation is crucial for capturing the optimal expression of the grapes and the terroir in the resulting wine. After fermentation, the wine is briefly aged in oak barrels. This aging period adds an extra layer of complexity and texture to the wine. The result is a top-class Friulano, characterized by juicy acidity developed in the vineyard, as well as soft bitterness and a pleasant bite that give the wine its character and versatility.
In the glass, the Toros Friulano Collio radiates a lemon-yellow color. The nose offers fruity aromas of apricots, pears, and apples, with a hint of almond. On the palate, it offers soft and refined flavors. A pleasant mouthfeel with the juicy freshness typical of the Friulano grape. A versatile wine that pairs well with a variety of dishes.
