Friulano Colli Orientali - Grillo Iole

In the glass, the Friulano Colli Orientali from Grillo Iole displays a bright golden-yellow color. This varietal Italian wine presents wonderfully expressive notes of elderberry in the glass. There are also hints of bitter almond and licorice.

The Grillo Iole Friulano Colli Orientali presents itself wonderfully dry to the wine enthusiast. This white wine never appears coarse or austere, as one might expect from a wine. Balanced and complex, this fleshy and crisp white wine presents itself on the palate. On the finish, this wine from the Friuli-Venezia Giulia wine-growing region finally delights with a beautiful length. Again, nuances of elderberry appear.

Vinification of the Friulano Colli Orientali from Grillo Iole

The basis for the well-balanced Friulano Colli Orientali from Friuli-Venezia Giulia is grapes of the Friulano variety. After harvesting, the grapes are brought to the press house as quickly as possible. There they are sorted and gently crushed. Fermentation then takes place in stainless steel tanks and large wooden casks at controlled temperatures. After fermentation, the wine is aged for several months on the fine lees before it is finally bottled.
