La Tunella - Friulano

Grape Variety:
100% Friulano

Vinification:
As the Ribolla Gialla, this is one of the Friuli region’s great indigenous white varietals. The grapes are harvested at the right degree of ripeness, stripped from the stalks and gently pressed. The resulting first press undergoes cold static decantation and then a fermentation stock, prepared 3-4 days earlier from the selected best grapes of the same variety, is added. The must then ferments slowly in stainless steel vats at a precisely controlled temperature (16 °C) for approximately 30 to 40 days. The maturation continues in stainless steel vats, during which time also a lengthy series of batonnage processes is carried out at set intervals to produce a well-rounded and full-bodied wine, with a delicate bouquet. After a long sur lie aging process, bottling is deferred the month of February.

Colour:
Brilliant straw yellow with elegant greenish reflections.

Notes on flavour and bouquet:
A noble wine with a delicately harmonious, floral, and fruity bouquet, and a typical note of bitter almond, pear, wild flowers and acacia. The palate is smooth and velvety, moderately acid, dry, and well structured. The incredibly persistent finish is characterised by a distinctive and unmistakable scent of bitter almond, accentuating the uniqueness of the variety.

Serving Temperature:
10 - 12 °C

Serving Suggestions:
A great accompaniment for light antipastos, cold cuts, dry pasta dishes, fishes and white meats. Excellent with San Daniele prosciutto.

A journey among the Friulian Mounts with Tunella
Tunella was born where the cold and rigid winds of the Julian Alps meet the mild winds of the Adriatic Sea, which give rise to a contamination unique in Italy and beyond. The phrase "authentic hill art", which accompanies the logo of the winery, perfectly describes the result of this integration: a territory that is the exact middle ground between the mountainous and flat morphology. In turn, the production is faithful to the vocation of the territory, with 70% white grapes (which give life to white wines of great elegance, structure and longevity) and 30% red grapes, embracing both native varieties such as Ribolla Gialla, Verduzzo Friulano, Malvasia Istriana, Refosco and Schioppettino and international ones such as Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon, Pinot Nero and Merlot. Tunella is also at the forefront of an eco-sustainable agricultural and production policy, which limits treatments in the vineyard to a minimum and uses clean energy from photovoltaic panels for activities in the cellar.
