Bastianich, Plus I.G.T. A single- vineyard of sixty-year-old vines, on a perfectly exposed hilltop, yields an extreme example of our native Friulano. We concentrate the flavours of our old-vine Tocai by harvesting at optimum ripeness. Ten-percent of the harvested fruit undergoes an additional period of appassimento and, if conditions are right, an attack of the noble rot, botrytis, adding another layer of depth and complexity.
Wine type: white wine IGT.
Alcohol content: 15°
Region: Buttrio/Premariaccio, Colli Orientali del Friuli DOC.
Grape/blend: 100% Friulano (10% appassimento).
Type soil: limestone marl.
Colour: intense golden yellow.
Aroma: the nose is ripe and powerful, showing mature mandarin oranges, melons and pears.
Tasting notes: similar in flavour and complexity to a “Grand Cru” Alsatian white. Full-bodied, with a thick, oily palate and toasted almond. There is a lovely bitter almond note on the finish.
Serving suggestions: it can be served with frito, scampi and raw fish in its youth, but is also fantastic with hot peppers and very spicy dishes (Indian and Thai). As it ages, it becomes a magnificent soft cheese companion - try it with the likes of Taleggio or Robiola. Serving 10/12°C.
Please note that it is an offence to purchase or attempt to purchase alcoholic liquor if you are under the age of 18
Editor's note: A family, their land, the wine. The wine we drink has a rich history, it is part of a deep-rooted tradition and sometimes travels the whole world to get to our table. Cividale del Friuli - Friuli Venezia Giulia - Italy.
