Zorzettig Friulian Wines: elegance and identity from the Eastern Hills of Friuli
The Zorzettig Friulian Wines collection gathers a representative selection of labels from the Zorzettig winery, a historic reality of the Eastern Hills of Friuli. Here, wines are crafted that precisely tell the story of the Spessa di Cividale territory, where the Zorzettig family has been cultivating a winemaking heritage for over a century, focusing on vineyard care, attention in the cellar, and the enhancement of the most suitable indigenous and international grape varieties for these hills.
The offering includes whites of great finesse such as I Fiori di Leonie, Pinot Bianco, and Ribolla Gialla, as well as characterful reds like Schiopettino and a meditation wine like Picolit DOCG. It is a selection designed for those seeking authentic, elegant, and recognizable Friulian wines, capable of uniting freshness, sapidity, and aromatic depth.
The terroir of Spessa di Cividale and the Zorzettig style
The Zorzettig winery interprets the Eastern Hills of Friuli with a precise vision: to express the character of the territory through clean, harmonious, and territorial wines. The owned vineyard, spanning 115 hectares, benefits from a particularly favorable microclimate for the ripening of grapes and the preservation of natural acidity, a fundamental element for many Friulian white wines.
Among the most interesting references in the collection stands out I Fiori di Leonie, Friuli Colli Orientali DOC, a blend of Pinot Bianco, Friulano, and Sauvignon from the cru Vigneti di Spessa. The separate vinification of the varieties, cold maceration, and prolonged aging contribute to building a complex, fresh, and well-defined aromatic profile.
White, red, and sweet wines for different moments
This selection offers a complete journey through different styles. The Pinot Bianco MYO DOC Friuli Colli Orientali Zorzettig comes from vineyards over 50 years old and stands out for its elegance, notes of Golden apple, white fruit, and a pleasant sapidity.
