Borgo Conventi Friulano Collio DOC 2024: The Authentic Soul of the Terroir
The Friulano 2024 from Borgo Conventi is the purest and most aristocratic expression of Collio Goriziano. Born on an estate where history intertwines with excellent viticulture, this wine perfectly embodies the identity of the indigenous grape variety par excellence, elevated by a winemaking process that focuses entirely on freshness and elegance.
Sensory Profile Visually, it presents a luminous straw yellow color, embellished with delicate greenish reflections. The nose opens with a refined and complex bouquet: notes of wildflowers and golden apple blend with mineral hints and the characteristic, unmistakable nuance of bitter almond. On the palate, it is enveloping, velvety, and well-structured, supported by a vibrant savoriness that leads to a long and persistent finish.
Vinification and Aging The grapes, carefully selected from the most suitable vineyards in the Collio region, undergo soft pressing. Fermentation takes place in steel tanks at controlled temperatures to preserve the integrity of the primary aromas. This is followed by "sur lie" aging (on the lees) until the following spring, which gives the wine softness and aromatic complexity.
Excellent Pairings A classic companion to Prosciutto di San Daniele, Borgo Conventi Friulano excels with lean appetizers, risottos with wild herbs, and dishes based on shellfish or delicate fish. Its structure also makes it perfect for pairing with fresh and medium-aged cheeses.
