Grape: Ribolla Gialla
Region: Friuli, Italy

Producer's Notes:

"It is no coincidence that the oldest medieval wall-painting representing a grape-harvest
and wine-making surviving in Friuli comes from Perusini-Antonini Palace in Udine (the
family is documented since the fifteenth century). It is also due to Perusini family that in
the Nineteenth century a number of traditional Friuli's strain (such as Ribolla Gialla and
Picolit) were preserved when the French wine species were all the fashion. The entire
property encompasses now 62 hectares, 12.5 of which dedicated to the vineyards, 60%
for white wines and the rest for red wines. the family tradition continues in the part of
the estate on Gramogliano hill renowned for centuries - like Rocca Bernarda and Rosazzo
- for terrain, beautiful position and micro-climate that makes them the cru hors classe of
Friuli's Colli Orientali."
