Native to the Eastern Hills of Friuli, it displays a \u003cstrong\u003eruby red hue\u003c\/strong\u003e with delicate violet reflections. The bouquet is deep, characterised by \u003cstrong\u003espicy notes and ripe morello cherry\u003c\/strong\u003e. On the palate, it stands out for its balsamic tone and full body, where the firm yet smooth tannic structure supports a \u003cstrong\u003elong-lasting finish\u003c\/strong\u003e, making it ideal to accompany roasts, veal shank and mature cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe rows of vines take root on the hills of Manzano, benefiting from excellent exposure and the refreshing breezes of the Adriatic Sea. The vines grow on \u003cstrong\u003eponca soil\u003c\/strong\u003e, a clay marl alternating with sandstone. The naturally low fertility and water retention of the soil enhance the wine’s mineral imprint and structure. Here, Pignolo is cultivated, an \u003cstrong\u003eancient Friulian grape variety\u003c\/strong\u003e documented as far back as the fourteenth century, saved from oblivion thanks to a few precious cuttings preserved at the Abbey of Rosazzo.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe production process begins with a rigorous \u003cstrong\u003emanual harvest\u003c\/strong\u003e, carefully selecting the bunches before destemming. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature, with a \u003cstrong\u003eprolonged skin contact\u003c\/strong\u003e between the must and skins for eight to ten days, essential for extracting colour and polyphenols. Once this phase is complete, the wine is aged in \u003cstrong\u003eAllier oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e for at least twenty-four months, a step that consolidates the tannic structure and broadens the aromatic profile.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePignolo is an ancient Friulian excellence, documented as early as the 1300s and saved from oblivion thanks to the recovery of a few precious vines at the Abbey of Rosazzo. Torre Rosazza enhances this noble grape variety in the \u003cstrong\u003eColli Orientali del Friuli DOC\u003c\/strong\u003e, creating a wine that expresses the elegance of a fascinating borderland. The grapes, strictly hand-harvested, give a proud and enveloping character with a \u003cstrong\u003elong aromatic persistence\u003c\/strong\u003e, enhanced by twenty-four months of maturation in \u003cstrong\u003eoak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Torre Rosazza","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44512327532715,"sku":"47979","price":232.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/torre-rosazza-pignolo-2018_47979_1_ce4f3bcf-e4c4-40e0-9107-df7b2f88a44d.webp?v=1773720594","url":"https:\/\/xtriwine.com\/en-hk\/products\/torre-rosazza-pignolo-2018","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
