Crafted by blending Malvasia istriana from Duline and Sauvignon from Ronco Pitotti, this wine embodies the vintners' commitment to authenticity, undergoing spontaneous fermentation and maturation in barriques and used tonneaux.

With a blend comprising 60% Malvasia istriana and 40% Sauvignon, this wine matures for 11 months in French oak barriques of different passages, followed by an additional 7 months in steel, ensuring a harmonious balance of flavors and a distinctive character representative of the Friuli Venezia Giulia region.
