The aromatic bouquet is characterised by elegant notes of \u003cstrong\u003echamomile flowers and almond\u003c\/strong\u003e, enriched by delicate hints of wildflowers. On the palate, it reveals a \u003cstrong\u003edecisive and rounded sip\u003c\/strong\u003e, where pronounced freshness harmoniously balances citrusy nuances and a vibrant \u003cstrong\u003eiodised hint\u003c\/strong\u003e with a persistent finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes ripen in Capriva del Friuli, in the hilly area that forms the heart of Collio. The vineyards stretch across south-facing slopes, an ideal environment where the vines benefit from the meeting of \u003cstrong\u003ecool Alpine winds\u003c\/strong\u003e and breezes from the Adriatic Sea. The character of this white wine is deeply linked to the \u003cstrong\u003emarl soil\u003c\/strong\u003e, a terrain that the Friulano grape translates into a \u003cstrong\u003eclear aromatic profile\u003c\/strong\u003e and marked gustatory energy.

In the winery, a \u003cstrong\u003egentle pressing\u003c\/strong\u003e of the whole grapes is carried out to extract the free-run must, which is then fermented at a controlled temperature. The wine gains structure thanks to a prolonged \u003cstrong\u003eageing on fine lees\u003c\/strong\u003e for at least eight months. The entire production cycle takes place in \u003cstrong\u003estainless steel tanks\u003c\/strong\u003e, a technical choice essential to respect the varietal purity of Friulano and maintain its natural gustatory tension.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded in 1868 by Count Teodoro de La Tour, \u003cstrong\u003eVilla Russiz\u003c\/strong\u003e stands on the renowned hills of Capriva del Friuli.
