Dolee

The vines grow near Mariano del Friuli at an altitude of 31 metres, with an east–west orientation. The shallow, well-drained soil contains abundant stones as well as a reddish, silty-sandy fraction with iron and aluminium oxides, and retains little water. Following cold maceration and static cold settling, the must ferments for 14 days at 16–19 °C with selected yeasts; no malolactic fermentation takes place. The wine rests on the lees for 8–9 months and then matures for around nine months in bottle. It shows yellow peach fruit, citrus, mint and herbal notes, fresh acidity, a firm body and a long, slightly almond-led finish.
