PINOT GRIGIO, Collio
DOC, Isonzo DOC
Region: Collio DOC, Isonzo DOC Farra d’Isonzo
(GO); Friuli, Italy |
Description: Having a Pinot
Grigio from the two wine regions Collio and Isonzo from the
Friuli Region you are given the best from the soils, a fact
that the Ancient Romans also knew (they had called this wine
Havolae). Casa Zuliani in respect of the terroirs (the hilly
Collio and the Isonzo plateau both having a marl soil) offers
both versions of Pinot Grigio. It is up to you to decide which
you prefer: Collio is bigger and more complex wine while the
Isonzo is drier and mellower. A taste of ripe apples, pears
and scents of acacia flowers on the nose is prevalent in the
Pinot Grigio of both regions. |

Viennese family of WINTER, owner of the company Casa Zuliani

is called a “Super-Friuli”: like many Super Tuscans
is made with a typical Bordeaux mix of grapes: 50% Merlot,

one of the great wines that Italy can offer. Winter in the

rounded tannins. |
