A rare gem from the Colli Orientali: "Noans" is Tunella's rare cuvée made from noble sweet fermented, vine-dried grapes - a prime example of Friuli's underestimated talent in the field of high-quality sweet wines. The vines grow on calcareous marl (Ponca), which in this region not only produces delicate white wines, but also sweet wines with a cool balance. The carefully selected grapes - mostly Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Bianco and Friulano - remain on the vine until well into late autumn. The natural loss of water through dehydration leads to an enormous concentration of sugar, acidity and flavour. After manual harvesting, the wine is fermented and matured in small barriques, where it slowly ferments for months. The result: a finely structured, deeply flavoured Trockenbeerenauslese of impressive elegance.

Noans shines in the glass in a dense golden yellow with an amber-coloured shimmer. The aroma is characterised by acacia honey, dried apricots, candied pineapple, sultanas, orange blossom and a fine herbal note. Soft, round and supple on the palate, carried by a juicy acidity and subtle woody spice. The long, creamy finish is underpinned by notes of roasted nuts and subtle bitter orange. "Noans" is a vinophile gem - harmonious, balanced and never heavy or broad. A noble sweet white wine that also holds its own with dignity on its own, but shines particularly well with blue cheese, pâté or desserts with nuts and dried fruit. Limited production - great persistence. SUPERIORE.DE
