Located within the production area of the DOC Friuli Colli Orientali, in Corno di Rosazzo, the Valentino Butussi winery was born in 1910 and bears the name of its founder and progenitor of the family. Valentino Butussi is a representative company of the territory that has chosen the path of organic viticulture, obtaining the certification in 2013. In the cellar, the steel containers are intended for vintage wines, while for the selections, the use of cement is preferred and large barrels of untoasted wood (from three to sixty hectoliters), for the reserve whites the traditional Friulian seven hundred liter barrel is used.

The White Angel is a Cuvè, it is aged in wooden barrels and is cared for and harvested according to the lunar tides. It is fresh, fruity and smooth to the taste. The palate shows spring flowers and a hint of caramelized citrus. At the same time, the grapes give the cuvée a beautiful minerality and volume. We can recommend this great expansion with seafood, shellfish or grilled fish.

A Riserva with an austere and solemn character, which reaches the qualitative peaks of the entire range created by the Valentino Butussi farm. This "Santuari" is a Cabernet Sauvignon DOC where the balance between taste and aroma makes the sip incisive and expressive, denoting its great evolutionary potential over time. The carefully selected grapes, after harvesting, ferment in oak barrels thanks to the use of indigenous yeasts. Then we move on to the refinement, carried out for two years in oak barrels with a capacity of 300 liters; after bottling, the wine further ages in glass for 12 months. A label that interprets the Colli Orientali del Friuli terroir with a niche production, where excellence and aging capacity go hand in hand, giving us a red wine of great value.
