Passito NOANS DOC TUNELLA

This sweet wine from the Friulian winery Tunella is made from a blend of Riesling Renano, Traminer Aromatico and Sauvignon grapes: the vineyards are situated in the hills of Eastern Friuli, on soils rich in marl and sandstone known as ‘ponche’. The harvest takes place during the last week of September: after manual picking, the carefully selected bunches are placed in special crates and left to dry in a well-ventilated area. Once the right degree of drying has been achieved, the grapes are destemmed, crushed and gently pressed. This produces a must which is then cold-settled and fermented at a low, controlled temperature.
