Pinot Bianco Colli Orientali del Friuli Doc
Petrussa
Petrussa's Pinot Bianco Colli Orientali del Friuli is made from only Pinot Bianco grapes. This variety, along with others, arrived in the mid-19th century from France. It is genetically derived from Pinot Noir and has integrated very well in some areas of Friuli. It has small, compact, pinecone-shaped clusters: hence the name "Pinot" seems to originate, with berries that are golden yellow when fully ripe. This variety, if kept in a condition to produce only a few clusters per plant, generates an elegant and very deep wine. Its aromatic notes are subtle and discreet, but with great character. Never brash, it is persuasive, versatile and exceptionally matchable. Petrussa's history began in the first decade of the 1900s in Friuli, focusing initially on grape production and sales. It was not until the mid-1980s that the farming brothers Gianni and Paolo began bottling their own wine. The winery is located in Prepotto, in the east of the Friuli Venezia Giulia region, bordering Slovenia and Collio Goriziano. The geographic location, about 30 km from both the Adriatic Sea and the Julian Pre-Alps, creates significant climatic differences between the various vineyards. The Petrussa winery stands out for its Schioppettino, although it runs a large fleet of both red and white vineyards. In the case of Pinot Bianco, it comes from the Santo Spirito vineyards, with 40-year-old plants and east-west exposure. The location favors abundant sunshine and a cool wind from the Balkans, allowing late harvests and producing rich, concentrated white grapes ideal for long aging.Read more
