Terre di Plovia – “Piligrin” Venezia Giulia IGT
Piligrin in Friulian language means pilgrim, a person one who in ancient times would travel the Cammino del Tagliamento, along the Tagliamento river, through the Lands of Plovia, to reach Venice, and then embark for the Holy Land. In your glass Piligrin is vibrant red, the nose is intense and polyphonic, and it recalls small red fruits, such as currants, blueberries and plums, and you even get a nuance of morello cherry jam. There are notes of cyclamens and violets followed by sensations of fresh and minty herbs. The finish has a hint of bitter cocoa and licorice root. Piligrin has a lively character on the palate, supporting the aromatic persistence given by its intriguing Piculit Neri grape variety.

Believing in the potential of a terroir that we have known, loved and protected for years.
Challenging it.
Giving the wine enough time to fully develop its identity and express its innate elegance.
To allow ourselves to be surprised.
This is the heart of the thought leading us to imagine a new Sauvignon from Alta Grave in Friuli, where the mountains that frame the vineyards mitigate the temperatures, with constant winds and considerable temperature shifts. Waiting patiently awarded us with a wine of fascinating nuances, where floral notes of elder, magnolia and Mediterranean herbs meet citrus scents: a complexity that also complements the long and persuasive sip.

In the glass the straw yellow color is bright and changing, with a touch of green. The bouquet is slightly aromatic with reminders of almond, elderberry flowers and mature pear, the same elegant mineral notes that you will rediscover on the palate. -

The Pinot Noir gives our new wine both a refined rosé color and a more structured and complex perlage. -
The Grave Friulana is a particularly suitable area for the cultivation of the “Glera” vine and therefore it was included in the appellation of origin (Prosecco DOC). Its stony and loose soil, the significant temperature shifts and the ventilated microclimate, make the grapes express their unique characteristics and, together with a careful vinification, result in an elegant Prosecco. In the glass you will find a surprising fine perlage, a fruity and fresh bouquet enriched with mineral notes. The sip is delicate and creamy and recalls the same scents you perceived on the nose. The finish is long, pleasantly sapid and mineral.
