Castello di Spessa WIne Resort & SPA Via Spessa,1 - 34070 - Capriva del Friuli (GO)
There is no grape variety more identifiable than Friuli. Even if its origins are not in our North East but in the Bordeaux region. We are talking about Sauvignon Blanc, a pleasantly aromatic grape variety, capable of giving life to white wines with a clearly distinguishable and therefore identifying olfactory profile. Castello di Spessa, in particular, processes it in purity to give life to this Friuli Isonzo Sauvignon DOC, produced from grapes grown in the vineyards of Cormons. After soft pressing of the grapes, fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. Once the transformation phase is over, the wine continues its maturation in steel tanks, in contact with its noble lees. This slow maturation phase, designed to add complexity to the wine without distorting its fine aromatic framework, generally continues until March. Only then is the wine ready to go into the bottle and, after a few months, reach the shelves and consumers. Straw yellow colour with green reflections. The nose immediately reveals a wine characterised by a fine and elegant bouquet, with hints of apricot, tropical fruit and (the inevitable) tomato leaf. In the mouth, the correspondence is almost perfect. This reveals a pleasantly fresh and rich wine, characterised by a long finish. Excellent with fish of all kinds and risottos with a strong flavour, it is the right wine to accompany the classic Catalan lobster or a nice fish soup.
The region is Friuli Venezia Giulia. The winery is that of Castello di Spessa. We are, let us be clear, in one of Italy's most prestigious wine-growing areas and one of the area's most qualitative wineries. The origins of the winery date back to the late 1970s, when Loretto Pali bought an estate of around 60 hectares in the Isonzo area. Then, in 1987, the property was further expanded with the acquisition of the Castle and a further 28 hectares of vineyards, this time in the Gorizia Collio, in Capriva del Friuli. All of Castello di Spessa's wines are produced from its own vineyards, where typical local grape varieties dominate with: Ribolla Gialla, Friulano, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, Pinot Bianco, Pinot Nero, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. The wines are then aged in the medieval cellars and in the bunker, dug under the castle during World War II (and only discovered in 1987 during a renovation). Situated at a depth of about 18 metres, at a constant temperature of 14 degrees, the bunker is the ideal place for ageing the estate's fine wines.
