Tiare Vineyards estate consists of just 30 acres of vineyard land that enjoy Collio’s unique position between the Adriatic Sea and the Alps, which are just 35 or 40 miles apart. The two influences make beautiful aromatic wines with driven minerality and salinity from grapes planted in ponca—Friuli’s unique combination of brittle fossil-laden marl and sandstone. These soils evoke texture and vibrancy in the glass, a pure liveliness preserved by aging in stainless steel tanks.
This wine comes from the Collio DOC from silty clay soils with grapes expressing pure Sauvignon. Cold macerated and soft pressed, the wine is fermented in stainless steel tanks with 20% malolactic fermentation.
