Zuani (Floriano del Collio, Friuli)

Five hectares of vines surround the Zuani cellar, where the varieties planted are Tocai Friulano, Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio and Sauvignon. Zuani only makes wines that are genuinely typical of the region and this territory, the Collio. Zuani Collio Bianco “Vigne” comes from a conscious decision to make a single wine that captures the fabulous aromas and structure of the grapes in the blend. It is fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to bring out its fresh, fruit-rich personality. Zuani is Patrizia Felluga's winery and it embodies the Felluga family winemaking heritage, unifying the traditional aspects of Friulian varieties with their more modern side.

Vigne 2006 (Tocai Friulano, Chardonnay, Sauvignon & Pinot Grigio)

Fermented and aged in stainless steel, the palate is soft and silky. Sweet grilled nuts with wonderful fresh complex apple and citrus fruit with greatlength…

Ronco del Gelso (Cormons, Isonzo del Friuli)

Young wine grower Giorgio Badin, is steadily building a reputation for his wines at his family estate Ronco del Gelso (which translates ‘Hill of the Mulberry tree’). The vineyard occupies some 15 ha near Cormons on the right bank of the Isonzo river in the northeast of Italy. Within Isonzo, the area around Giorgio’s vineyards is recognised as a special one, and has had its own micro-DOC, Gesimis, since 2002. The climate here is ideal for quality grape growing with cold air from Central Europe meeting warm Adriatic winds, creating temperature variations favouring slow even ripening. The soil is also ideal, with deep calcareous beds of well-drained gravel known locally as ‘ponka’.

Pinot Grigio Sot Lis Rivis 2006

From a single-vineyard, Sot Lis Rivis, this is barrel-fermented in some new oak. The nose displays a sophisticated creamy, toasty edge with a distinctive floralness/herbiness. The rich, herby nutty palate has a full texture and good concentration. The oak is well integrated.

Collio Bianco Latimis 2006

A blend of late-picked Tocai Friulano, Pinot Bianco, Riesling and a touch of Sauvignon. Deep yellow colour. The very rich intense herbal nose is savoury and full. Huge concentration on the rich-textured palate, which shows a freshness despite the weight of the rich fruit.

Adriano Gigante (Corno di Rosazzo, Friuli)

Gigante is a small family owned and operated winery in the heart of Friuli. The label dates back to 1957, and is now run by the founders’ grandchildren. The estate has 20 ha. under vine in the heart of Colli Orientali in Friuli.
