The wine region of Collio
Benchmark for Italy's great whites, the hills of Friuli on the Slovenian border. Precise, structured whites with signature notes of pear, apple, exotic fruit, white flowers, almond and marked saline minerality — the "ponca" (marl-limestone flysch) signs the wines. Serious Pinot Grigio, Friulano (formerly Tocai) with its characteristic almond taste, native saline Ribolla Gialla. Also Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Malvasia.
The wine region of Friuli-Venezia Giulia
Italian benchmark of great whites of elegance and minerality. Emblematic Friulano with notes of fresh almond, pear and white flowers, taut Ribolla Gialla, precise Pinot Grigio, lively Sauvignon and balanced Chardonnay. Rare sweet Picolit (DOCG), saline Malvasia Istriana. Rising reds: fruity spicy Refosco, more tannic Pignolo and Schioppettino.
The word of the wine: Maceration
Prolonged contact and exchange between the juice and the grape solids, especially the skin. Not to be confused with the time of fermentation, which follows maceration. The juice becomes loaded with colouring matter and tannins, and acquires aromas. For a rosé, the maceration is short so that the colour does not "rise" too much. For white wines too, a "pellicular maceration" can be practised, which allows the wine to acquire more fat.
