Ca'Bolani's Pinot Bianco, Friuli DOC Aquileia, is a wine that originates in a corner of Friuli Venezia Giulia where the thousand-year history of viticulture intertwines with a unique landscape. We are in Cervignano del Friuli, in the province of Udine, in an area that once saw the flourishing of ancient Aquileia, one of the most important cities of the Roman Empire. Here, where imperial splendour once resounded, the Zonin family now passionately cultivates the grapes that give life to this elegant Pinot Bianco. The predominantly calcareous soils are a distinctive feature that gives the wines a marked minerality and pleasant sapidity. The proximity to the sea, on the other hand, brings unique benefits to the cultivation of quality grapes. The sea breezes mitigate the summer temperatures and help to create an ideal microclimate for growing vines, favouring the development of fine and complex aromas. Pinot Bianco is carefully cultivated in the Ca'Bolani estate vineyards, where it develops a particular aromatic finesse and vibrant acidity. In the cellar, the freshly harvested grapes undergo a soft and delicate pressing. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature, enhancing the fruity and floral notes typical of Pinot Bianco. Prolonged ageing on the lees enriches the wine with complexity, giving it greater roundness and a pleasant creaminess on the palate. Bright straw yellow in colour, the nose reveals elegant floral notes of hawthorn and acacia that blend harmoniously with delicate fruitiness reminiscent of white peach and tropical fruit. On the palate, it is refined and extraordinarily enveloping, supported by lively freshness and balanced sapidity. A versatile wine at the table, this Pinot Bianco is an excellent aperitif, capable of whetting the appetite with its liveliness. At the table, it can accompany an entire meal with finesse and elegance. Try it with a risotto with scampi or a lemon-flavoured sea bass fillet.
