Intoxicating aromas of flowers and spices from Friuli. Ca'Bolani's Aquileia DOC Traminer Aromatico has all this and probably much more. It comes from the heart of a land rich in history and dedicated to viticulture. We are in Cervignano del Friuli (UD), in that strip of Friuli Venezia Giulia where the plain meets the Adriatic coast, a territory shaped by wind and sun, where the Zonin family passionately cultivates its vineyards. The calcareous soils of this area, formed by marine sediments, give the wines a distinctive minerality and a particular elegance. The proximity to the sea mitigates the climate, creating ideal temperature variations for the development of intense and complex aromas in aromatic grapes, such as Traminer. In the cellar, the freshly harvested grapes are treated with particular care to best preserve their rich aromatic heritage. A cold skin maceration phase of about 12 hours precedes gentle pressing. This process allows the aromatic compounds present in the skins to be gently extracted. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature in stainless steel tanks to enhance the varietal aromas. This is followed by a period of ageing ‘sur lies’ which completes the process, enriching the wine with complexity and roundness. In the glass, this Aquileia DOC Traminer Aromatico has a beautiful straw yellow colour, enhanced by elegant golden hues. The nose is surprising for its intense and enveloping bouquet, characteristic of the grape variety, with distinct floral notes reminiscent of yellow rose, fresh hints of citrus and an intriguing touch of mint. The palate perfectly mirrors the nose. It amazes with its richness and roundness, well balanced by a pleasant freshness that accompanies the long finish, characterised by refined aromatic notes.
