Friuli Colli Orientali DOP Galea 2021 I Clivi

The Galea de I Clivi takes its name from the homonymous vineyard. The company was founded in the 90s in Gramogliano, near Corno di Rosazzo, in the province of Udine. The company manages two vineyards, populated by both white and red native vines. The first is Galea, found in the DOC Colli Orientali del Friuli, in Corno di Rosazzo in the province of Udine. The second is the Brazan vineyard, located in Collio Goriziano in Brazzano di Cormons.

It consists mostly of Friulano grapes with a small addition of Verduzzo. The whole grapes are softly pressed, decanted and vinified in thermo-controlled steel tanks with indigenous yeasts. Aging takes place on the fine lees in the same containers for 18 months.

Straw yellow in colour, the wine opens to the nose with aromas of hydrocarbons, honey and anise, with citrus and flint notes. The sip is deep and expressive, with a very mineral finish.

Excellent with savory roasted fish, grilled white meats and savory savory pies.
