- Origin
- DOC Collio, Collio, Italy
The grapes come from several vineyard sites and exposures; the name Perilla derives from a local field name. The official fact sheet for the 2019 harvest mentions clay-limestone soils, spontaneous fermentation and gentle skin maceration lasting around 20 days. The wine then matured in French barriques. In the glass, it shows dark berries, especially blackberry, aromatic herbs and spice notes. The style is broad, full and soft, with balanced, elegant tannins, fresh acidity and a slightly balsamic finish.
