This wine is soft pink in colour with copper highlights, thanks to the skin contact during fermentation. It is fresh and floral on the nose, with aromas of apples, pears and elderflower. On the palate, this wine is creamy with intense and persistent fruity notes.

The family has 16 hectares of vineyard on the hill of Rocca Bernarda in the heart of the Colli Orientali DOC zone. The Pinot Grigio grapes are grown on a small vineyard, planted in 1970, at 170 metres above sea level on a north-east facing slope. The soil is marl, sandstone and clay and planting density is 5,000 vines per hectare. The vines are trained to the Guyot system.

Upon arrival at the winery, the fruit for this wine was destemmed and gently crushed. This was followed by maceration on the skins for 72 hours at a low temperature to develop the wine's coppery colour. The must was racked and fermented in stainless steel tanks. The wine was aged in the tanks until the following spring when it was bottled.

The Specogna family owns 25 hectares of vineyard on the hill of Rocca Bernarda in the heart of the Colli Orientali DOC in Friuli Venezia Giulia. Their vineyards are planted in a spectacular amphitheatre and tended organically by Michele and Cristian Specogna, so the quality of the fruit they bring to the winery is impeccable. As a result, they are keen to get as much flavour as possible from their grapes.
