Verduzzo Friulano Colli Orientali del Friuli DOC 2022 magnum - Valentino Butussi

SOIL: Hilly bottom, made up of marl and sandstone stratified in depth and colluvial on the surface HARVEST: Manual, the harvest time is visually evaluated when the grapes reach optimal ripeness, which in this area occurs between the second and third ten days of September. VINIFICATION: The harvest is manual and differentiated according to maturation with twice-weekly passages. 30/40% of the grapes are left to dry in wooden boxes for over a month. The remaining grapes are left on the vine and are then harvested when overripe, when the berries begin to brown and dehydrate naturally. The grapes are destemmed and the must is left in contact with the skins for 24 – 28 hours at a temperature of 12°C to allow the wine to accentuate its varietal characteristics and to acquire the golden yellow-amber color typical of this vine AGING: 60% 6 months in steel barrels 40% 6 months in 300 liter oak barrels 2 - 4 months in bottle CHARACTERISTICS OF THE WINE: Deep golden yellow colour, intense floral and fruity bouquet, sweet on the palate, slightly tannic, robust, full-bodied, rightly alcoholic.
