70,000 ha around Florence and Siena, cradle of Italy's great reds.
Lively, taut whites with firm acidity and a slender mouth, featuring aromas of citrus, green apple, white flowers, fresh herbs and chalky mineral notes. Often vinified with skin maceration (orange wine), developing amber hues of dried fruits, honey, tannins and oxidative complexity. Signature of great Friulian whites (Collio DOC, Colli Orientali del Friuli DOC) and Slovenia under the name Rebula (Brda). Native Friulian grape.
