Red wine - Torre Rosazza - Pinot noir Friuli grave doc Format: Glass bottle 75cl Red wine - Torre Rosazza - Pinot noir Friuli grave doc - Data sheet Grapes: Pinot Noir Grape yield: 80 qli/ha Origin: Friuli Grave Spilimbergo from 10-15 year old vines Altitude: 130 m asl Breeding method: Guyot Planting density: 4,000 - 5,000 plants/hectare Refinement: 3 months in concrete Vintage: 2023 – First vintage: 2007 Analytical data: Alcohol 12.5% vol - Acidity Tot 5.2 g/l Longevity: 4/5 years Land: Soil of alluvial origin, characterised by a first surface layer resting on a second layer of pebbles of varying size, of limestone and dolomite origin, a rock composed of calcium carbonate and magnesium. The texture is sandy and the pebbles ('graves' in French) guarantee a high temperature range between day and night that enhances the aromas, fragrances and elegance of the grapes. The temperate climate is favourably affected by the presence of the Friulian Dolomites, which provide shelter from the cold northern winds and facilitate the mitigating effect of the Adriatic Sea to the south. Vinification: Harvested in the first weeks of September, the grapes are destemmed and placed in stainless steel fermenters, where the must macerates in contact with the skins for about 5 days at a controlled temperature. Once the skins are separated from the must, alcoholic fermentation is completed, also in stainless steel. After malolactic fermentation, the wine is placed in cement vats for 3 months. Tasting: The colour is a pale ruby red, typical of the variety. The nose is intense and fruity with hints of red fruits and wild strawberry. The palate is well structured, soft and agile thanks to a pleasant vegetal note that supports and accompanies the sip. Combinations: Excellent with red meat, game and non-spicy mature cheeses. Recommended serving temperature: 16-18° C.
