'L'Arcione' Colli Orientali del Friuli DOC La Tunella 2019

The Arcione produced by the La Tunella farm, one of the most representative winegrowing realities of the Friuli area, is a deeply territorial red, made from a blend made up of Pignolo (50%) and Schioppettino (50%), the two most important historic red grape varieties of Friuli Venezia Giulia. The first entered the Colli Orientali del Friuli DOC in 1995, while the second has already been present since 1987. This wine is a product of great value, in fact it obtained the 4 bunches of the Bibenda Guide, as well as the positive judgments of the Veronelli Guide, of the Gambero Rosso and the prestigious magazine Vitae AIS. For its realization, the harvested grapes, even before being vinified, spend a short period of drying in boxes, in order to obtain a high concentration of extracts and aromas, after which they are vinified; then follows the assembly. Finally, once in the bottle, the wine is still aged in the glass for some time. The result is a great red, an elegant, balanced and truly impressive wine. An excellent label that is worth discovering.
