Pinot Grigio Friuli Colli Orientali D.O.P. shows a deep straw yellow color that becomes more intense as it ages.
Fruity and fragrant nose, reminiscent of warm bread crust and the intense fragrance of acacia flowers and ripe tropical fruits. The palate confirms the olfactory sensations and is elegant, full-bodied, moderately acidic, with delicate yeast notes. It is a wine of definite personality.

Harvested at the right degree of ripeness, the grapes are destemmed and softly pressed. The flower must thus obtained is statically cold decanted and then added to a previously prepared fermentation foot (3-4 days before) with the best selected grapes of the same variety.

It then undergoes a slow fermentation in stainless steel tanks at a strictly controlled temperature (16°C) that lasts for about 30 to 40 days. Maturation continues in stainless steel tanks where a long series of batonnage at scaled frequency also takes place, with the aim of obtaining a complex, structured and delicately perfumed wine. Bottling will be expected in February.

Three generations, one story.

In the 1960s, grandfather Min and then father Livio began a story that continues to this day in Massimo and Marco Zorzettig’s Tunella, custodians along with mother Gabriella of more than fifty years of family history. In today’s Tunella, current events and memory, the desire to experiment and the highest traditions of the Colli Orientali del Friuli coexist: a present that day after day builds its future.

Although Tunella has a well-established history, we have never abandoned the maniacal attention that distinguishes every small winemaker when working in his vineyard. It is no coincidence that our philosophy is “do little to do better”-this is the only way we can come up with something qualitatively excellent and at the same time absolutely unique and personal.
