Wine Description:
The "Morus Alba" by Vignai da Duline is an extraordinary white wine hailing from the Colli Orientali del Friuli in Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy. 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. Exhibiting a captivating intense straw-yellow hue, it entices with delicate aromas reminiscent of yellow-pulp fruit, intertwining herbaceous, spicy, and dried fruit notes. The palate experience is both enveloping and well-structured, marked by excellent minerality and refreshing vitality, concluding with a long and persistent finish. 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.

G. B. Burlotto Viridis Langhe Sauvignon is a meticulous creation by the esteemed producer G. B. Burlotto, hailing from Langhe in the Piedmont region in Italy. Harvested by hand, the focus is on preserving fruit integrity, enabling a selective process in the cellar. After destemming and a gentle press, certain vintages may undergo controlled skin maceration. The must undergoes cold static cleaning, leading to an alcoholic fermentation in steel tanks at a controlled temperature, preserving the grape's innate aromatics. Malolactic fermentation is deftly avoided through refrigeration, allowing refinement on fine fermentation lees in stainless steel tanks. Bottling typically occurs in late winter or early spring, resulting in a Sauvignon Blanc that beautifully balances purity of fruit and aromatic complexity.

Tenuta Margon Villa Margon Chardonnay is youthful, part barrel aged, refreshing dry white wine with notes of grapefruit, lemon, and almond. Made by the Lunelli Family, who are perhaps better known for their Ferrari Sparkling wine from Trentdoc, this wine serves as a good example of the quality potential of this cooler northern Italian region. The base of the wine is Chardonnay, usually not less than 80%, with Pinot Bianco and in some years, Sauvignon Blanc, making up the balance. The wine is cool fermented with a small proportion matured in old oak to add textural interest. This is a refreshing glass of wine and a good choice for those seeking the familiarity of an international variety with an unmistakeable Italian lean.
