The wine

The shy but reassured rays of a warm early spring sun peek through the branches of the woods above the hill. A fresh breeze brushes across the meadow adorned with the first wildflowers (daisies, nettles, "forget-me-nots"…).

This is the sensation you experience when uncorking a bottle of our marvelous Pinot Bianco "Tàlis." Not coincidentally, "tàlis" precisely means dandelion in Friulian. As journalist Carlo Cambi puts it: it's a wine that "in the glass takes on the color of sunshine."

The vineyard and the vine

Our Pinot Bianco vineyards are located within the territory of the Collio DOC.

The vineyard

An elegant white grape variety of French origin, originating from Alsace, which for 150 years has found a steadfast home in Friulian territory. It has encountered optimal climatic conditions here to subtly enhance all its qualities without ever becoming excessive. A challenging variety to manage, it prefers cooler areas, thrives with ample sunlight, and demands meticulous care. Delicate both in the vine rows and in the glass, Pinot Bianco wine captivates with its finesse, akin to a gentle caress on the palate, and can be considered one of the most elegant white wines in the world.
