Astonishing expression of a region that has always been associated with white wines. Uve Carate is a thick red of long lasting emotions. It writes a text of the territory where it come from, stately asserting its identity. It seduces the eyes with thick dark ruby colour, inspires with its deep aromas reverberating of spices, peat moss and chocolate.
Pignolo has had a difficult history. It graced Friuli’s tables from the early Middle Ages before almost dying out altogether, a victim of low yields and and its own physiological sensitivity. Recovered by clonal selection, the pignolo vine was replanted in the Buttrio area and in 1995 it finally found a home in the Colli Orientali DOC.
The grape’s deep purple skin harbours an abundance of assertive tannins while its bouquet is redolent of ripe wild berries, aromatic herbs and fine spices.
Summoner of dreams and partner to memories. Dazzling gold and amber glow, embracing honey and vanilla, its sweetness becomes enigmatic by the tannic verve of the Verduzzo. It slowly melts into the palate, leaving it resounding of candied apricots with memories of pan pepato.
