A vineyard, a single variety, in eastern Friuli. At 60 metres above sea level, near San Lorenzo, lies a limestone-rich gravel plateau, and the vines growing there have reached their productive maturity; on average, they are over thirty years old. The estate considers this site to be where Pinot Grigio best realises its potential, and the wine is a single-varietal. The harvest are harvest by hand, with careful selection. It ferments in LitersFrench oak barrels and remains there for eleven months: it rests on its fine lees, which are stirred frequently, and after bottling, the wine continues to mature in the bottle.

A deep straw yellow; the concentration is already evident to the eye. Aromas of pineapple and yellow stone fruit emerge, slightly smoky and spicy, accompanied by white peach, citrus and flint, with white rose petals and a hint of acacia honey in the background. On the palate, the wine lives up to what the eye and nose promise: precise, with lively fruit underpinned by a lovely saltiness, and a long, powerful finish. Here, concentration does not mean heaviness, but rather direction: everything in this wine pushes forward, right through to the very last sip. SUPERIORE.DE
