Friuli Venezia Giulia Borgo del Tiglio Ronco della Chiesa Nicola Manferrari 2016

The wine

This white wine is a single-variety Friulano – a local variety similar to Sauvignon, with a more pronounced fullness and aromas, including almond notes as a result of its barrel élevage. This is a parcel-based selection from the Ronco della Chiesa vineyard, a 1.2-hectare parcel where high-density forty-year-old rootstocks are cultivated.
