Tasting Notes

Red and blue fruits drive the palate with developed tannins and a tight mid-palate fleshed out by some merlot.

Cultivation

The current vines were planted between 1970 and 1987. Trained in bilateral guyot and fan-shaped systems, which were established by the business. The vineyards are green-covered.

Vinification

The wine is made through a de-stemming and pressing procedure in small wooden vats with a 12 hectolitre capacity, which are only half filled. After a brief pre-fermentation maceration at a low temperature, and when the fermentation is concluded, it undergoes a post-fermentation maceration that lasts a couple of weeks, depending on the quality of the year.

Aging

After racking it is usually left to refine for two or three years in French oak casks.

Borgo del Tiglio, guided by Nicola Manferrari, has become a benchmark for white wine in Friuli, celebrated for the remarkable textural complexity he brings to varietals like Friulano, Sauvignon Blanc, Malvasia, and Chardonnay. Originally trained as a pharmacist, Nicola let curiosity and a deep respect for the land guide his path, managing yields with precise pruning, maintaining full grass coverage, and avoiding fertilizers. In the cellar, his hands-off approach and use of gravity allow the vineyard’s unique soils, microclimates, and vine age to express themselves fully, producing wines that reflect both Friuli’s character and Nicola’s scientific precision and patient craftsmanship.
