Its full and precise personality is the result of a complete malolactic fermentation carried out entirely in \u003cstrong\u003ebarrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, which gives the palate a rich and enveloping texture. This wine stands out for its elegant and profound profile, preserved through \u003cstrong\u003eunfiltered bottling\u003c\/strong\u003e that enhances its aromatic purity. The complex flavour profile and its ability to evolve over time make it an authentic and faithful expression of the region, designed for those who appreciate \u003cstrong\u003estructured white wines\u003c\/strong\u003e with great definition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis white wine originates in Oslavia, within the renowned Collio area in Friuli-Venezia Giulia. The vineyards benefit from south and west exposure, enjoying ideal sunlight for the complete ripening of the grapes. The grapes are harvested from \u003cstrong\u003eold vines\u003c\/strong\u003e over forty years old, which naturally produce low yields in favour of high aromatic concentration. The roots delve into the characteristic \u003cstrong\u003ePonca\u003c\/strong\u003e, a soil of Eocene origin rich in marl and layers. This mineral composition gives the wine a marked savouriness and a \u003cstrong\u003ebroad flavour progression\u003c\/strong\u003e, defining the typical solidity of the Gorizia region.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe production process begins with manual harvesting, followed by destemming and crushing. The must undergoes an initial fermentation for four days in \u003cstrong\u003eopen oak vats\u003c\/strong\u003e, then completes the cycle and malolactic fermentation in \u003cstrong\u003ebarrels\u003c\/strong\u003e. Ageing is careful and rigorous: the wine rests for eleven months in \u003cstrong\u003ebarrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, followed by a year in stainless steel tanks to stabilise its freshness. Finally, a further twelve months in bottle harmonises its profile. The absence of filtration allows the \u003cstrong\u003esubstance of the wine\u003c\/strong\u003e to remain intact, enhancing the complex structure built up during the long maturation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2019 vintage of La Castellada Collio DOC expresses the pure essence of Oslavia. Produced from hand-harvested grapes from \u003cstrong\u003eold vines\u003c\/strong\u003e aged 45 years on ponca soil, this white wine stands out for its unmistakable intensity. Fermented in \u003cstrong\u003eSlavonian oak\u003c\/strong\u003e with malolactic fermentation carried out in barriques, the wine matures for a long time between wood, steel and bottle.
