Valentino Butussi

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.

The Friuli Colli Orientali DOC "Madonna D'Aiuto - Historic Label" by Butussi comes from Pinot Grigio grapes harvested manually; spontaneously fermented and aged, then in oak for 8-10 months, it is produced only in the best years. Of clear gastronomic versatility, it is appreciated for a great balance between freshness and softness; it will also acquire complexity over time.

Intense straw yellow, bright with golden reflections. Slightly persistent perlage. Lively nose with fruity notes of ripe pears and apples and candied oranges. Light and enveloping on the palate, final citrus notes that linger.

In addition to the great classics of the Friuli area, always declined with skill and refinement, the Valentino Butussi farm also delights in the production of a bubble, creating a Spumante Brut made according to the Martinotti method. Punctual in presenting subtle and light aromas, which open to a well-defined and refreshing sip, this "Ribolla Gialla" is confirmed as an excellent companion for more informal aperitifs.
