Jermann Vintage Tunina 2022

Drink it now or cellar it for up to 10 years. No need to decant it. The Jermann winery has a very long history that began in 1881, when its founder Anton arrived in Friuli Venezia Giulia, continuing the wine business previously undertaken in Austria and Slovenia. The family property now extends over 150 hectares, of which 130 are used as vineyards. These are distributed in three main areas: on the precious hill of Ruttars, where the plants benefit from a light and fresh soil and a microclimate that is not too hot, in the Isonzo area, with stony, sunny and ventilated soils, and in the area of Villanova di Farra, a very suggestive area of the DOC Collio. The Vintage Tunina is an iconic wine, widely recognized in Italy and abroad as one that made the history of Italian wine production. Created from the blend of the most typical white grapes of Friuli: Chardonnay, Ribolla Gialla, Malvasia Istriana, Picolit and Sauvignon, combining all their elegant and unique qualities. In the glass, it has a very bright golden color. The nose opens on a wide and varied olfactory spectrum made up of tropical fruit, orange blossom and hawthorn, saffron, cedar, and mineral notes. On the palate, it is soft and agile, fresh and measuredly savory with very long persistence and intense fruity notes. A unique, extraordinary white wine that can be paired with a great variety of fish dishes, especially baked and with sauces, but it can also go with white meats.
