FEATURES
Primary product
Monovitigno® (Single varietal) Verduzzo grapes which have been selected according to the uniqueness of the production zone of Cru Colli Orientali del Friuli, harvested fresh and at the right ripeness.

Fermentation
In stainless steel tanks under vacuum and in a controlled temperature environment. This is followed immediately by distillation in order to avoid harmful secondary fermentations.

Artisanal Distillation
Batch method with the removal of the heads and the tails in special artisanal batch steam stills renovated by Benito Nonino for the distillation of grapes. The distillation happens very slowly to allow the volatile components, responsible for the perfumes, a proper evaporation period and subsequent condensation, in order to keep intact the precious organoleptic characteristics of the Verduzzo vine.
