RJGIALLA Friuli Colli Orientali D.O.P. presents an elegant and intense bouquet, floral and fruity, fragrant, with great class and continuity. It unfolds on notes of acacia, plum and yellow peach, and pippin apple. The palate is intense and full, with agile body reflecting the varietal characteristic. Dry and savory, thanks to the type of winemaking it is pleasantly fresh.
The long finish develops pleasant notes that accompany an elegant, slightly aromatic aftertaste. Bright straw yellow color with elegant greenish highlights.

Like Friulano, it is one of Friuli’s great native white grape varieties. Harvested at the right degree of ripeness, the grapes are destemmed and softly pressed. The resulting clear and intact must fiore is added to a previously prepared fermentation foot 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 30-40 days. Maturation continues in stainless steel where a long series of batonnage at scaled frequency also takes place, with the aim of obtaining a complex, structured and delicately perfumed wine that is at the same time naturally stable. 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.
