Friulano was the wine of Friuli long before anyone planted Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio or Chardonnay in these soils. The autochthonous variety – long called Tocai until a European court judgement took the name away from it – has a distinctiveness that no other grape variety in this region can replicate: almond-bitter on the finish, floral on the attack, with a velvety texture and an unagitated stillness. Dolée comes from the vineyard of the same name in Mariano del Friuli – two hectares of sandy gravel with reddish silt, exposed to the east-west. Short cold maceration, fermentation at 16–19 °C, nine months on the lees in steel, natural clarification.

Pale yellow with golden reflections. Acacia, elderflower, white peach, almond and a hint of wild herbs on the nose – restrained and with an elegance that needs time. Round and velvety on the palate, with the characteristic almond bitterness in the final that gives the variety its identity. Long, dry, aromatically lingering. The wine that Friuli does not need to explain. SUPERIORE.DE
