What kind of wine it is

Friuli Grave from Torre Rosazza is a white wine that fully expresses the character of the Friulian territory. Made exclusively from Chardonnay grapes, it stands out for its fresh and contemporary style, designed to retain the varietal qualities. The attentive approach in the cellar enhances the Chardonnay and offers an immediate yet extremely precise profile, capable of striking the right balance between aromatic purity and structural roundness.

Where it comes from

This white originates in the Friuli Grave area and is located right across the Tagliamento river, between the provinces of Pordenone and Udine. The presence of the river is a clear geographical marker, as it creates an ideal microclimate for vine cultivation. In this context, the winery works with dedication to enhance its vineyards and focuses on preserving the distinctive features of the Friulian territory in every bottle.

How it is produced

The process begins with a gentle pressing of the grapes, designed to extract only the best part of the must. The subsequent fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled steel tanks, allowing careful management of temperatures to ensure technical precision. Refinement continues in the same vessels for at least three months on the fine lees, a key step that gives more breadth to the palate without compromising tension.

Tasting notes

In the glass, this wine shows a straw yellow color enhanced by bright greenish highlights. The nose opens with an intense and enticing bouquet, dominated by aromas of white flowers and citrus fruits, intertwined with notes of white peach and delicate herbal nuances. On the palate, it reveals remarkable progression, led by a enveloping acidity that supports drinking pleasure and delivers a savory, linear, and perfectly balanced finish.

Food pairings

Thanks to its lively sapidity, this Friulian white is an excellent choice to accompany various culinary preparations. It naturally pairs with fish-based dishes, from shellfish to baked preparations, where the wine's tension helps refresh the palate. Its citrus and floral notes make it equally suitable to accompany light starters and delicate flavors, ensuring a balanced match without excessive aromatic overlap.

When to serve it

Perfect to uncork when looking for a highly drinkable white wine, it is an ideal choice to start an evening with an informal aperitif. The immediacy and clarity resulting from steel processing make it suitable for regular enjoyment at the table. This is a bottle that focuses on balance and freshness, enhancing a relaxed dinner or a gathering with friends, and highlighting with each glass its intrinsic ease of drinking.
