Sheltered by the Julian Alps and warmed by Adriatic breezes, Friuli Colli Orientali saw heavy spring rains and a hot late season in 2024, yielding early, balanced grapes with vibrant acidity. Pressing was done on whole grapes. Fermentation occurred separately for each variety, partly in stainless steel (max 64°F) and partly in Allier oak barriques. Extended contact with fine lees gave the wine great extract and aromatic complexity. Aged in steel vats, then in horizontally stored bottles to reach optimal evolution.
