“Col Bajé" Pinot Grigio Friuli Colli Orientali DOC 2020
Pinot Gris with an intense straw-yellow colour with golden-copper reflections, which can be traced back to the historic Ramato process: Here, the mash remains in contact with the skins for approx. 10 hours. Broad, fruity bouquet with sweet notes of blackberry, pear and ripe apricot, delicate hints of almond blossom. Harmonious, dry and full-bodied on the palate. Medium-long, slightly mineral finish. SUPERIORE.DE
"The 2020 Pinot Grigio Colbaje combines enriching notes of raw almond and brioche with crushed yellow apples and exotic spice. It’s silky-smooth with lush orchard fruits contrasted by a building minerality toward the close. This lingers long yet comes across as delicate and refined, leaving young peach and a hint of butterscotch. I’m typically not a fan of the richer styles of Pinot Grigio, but the Colbaje does a fantastic job of maintaining a wonderfully energetic persona." Vinous
"Lots of white pepper, smoke, cooked peach and orange on the nose and palate. Medium-bodied with a round, creamy texture and lots of flavour on the finish." James Suckling

Picolit is the king grape of Friuli. Noble sweet Spätlese with a bright clear and golden yellow colour that tends towards amber with increasing maturity.

The history of Tunella and its most precious fruit, the grape, is inseparably linked to the area of the Colli Orientali del Friuli and the mixed soil of sandstone and marl - called "ponca" in Friulian. The cantina in the small village of Premariacco, twelve kilometres east of Udine, can certainly be described as a modern and functional model winery that can look back on a remarkably large assortment and impressive sales volumes. Founded by Min Zorzettig between the world wars and later continued by his son Livio, the winery is now in the hands of the third generation of the family and is managed by the still young but already very experienced brothers Massimo (marketing) and Marco (care of the vines). Both are supported by their mother Gabriella and their wives Romina and Barbara. The mostly white wines of the Friulian winery reflect the Zorzettigs' know-how of around one hundred years and convince with their unmistakable distinctness on the palate and in the nose.
Luigino Zamparo, a friend of the house of Tunella, as a young oenologist already has the knowledge and routine of a cellar master with many years of experience. The technologies of the architecturally beautiful winery are highly modern. The dynamic and well-coordinated team has plenty of space for wooden barrels of different sizes in the cellar, which is extremely functional on two levels and serves the various wine-making processes. The room for drying the grapes is equipped with controlled ventilation and cooling.
The vines are trained according to the traditional Guyot method and the Friulian monocapovolto (high vine with overhang). The yield of Tunella's vineyards has been limited to between 7,500 and 9000 kilograms per hectare in order to improve the quality of the grapes. The assortment ranges from the classic red and white wines to cuvees and Trockenbeerenauslese, as well as top white wines made from high-quality autochthonous varieties, which are released for sale one year later than the basic wines.
