2022 Borgo del Tiglio, Studio di Bianco, Collio Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy
$135.00
Studio di Bianco is a blend of Friulano/Sauvignon and Friulano/Riesling co-fermentations from the estate’s hillside vineyards in Ruttars, close to the Slovenian border. Generally the blend is 50% Friulano, 25% Sauvignon and 25% Riesling.
The vineyard used for Studio di Bianco has several different exposures (East, South, and Southeast) and has a pale grey soil that comes from the fragmentation of calcareous marl. Most vines were already planted when the vineyard was purchased by Nicola 1989.
The grapes of each variety are harvested on the same day and are pressed together. After they finish fermenting the co-fermentations are blended in the cellar for aging in 250 liter barrels.
