Tasting Notes

Pale straw yellow, this wine displays a nose of saline citrus, subtle florals, and light oak spice, with a precise, mineral, and citrus-driven palate, layered textures of stone fruit, lively lift, and a long, saline finish.

Cultivation

Guyot

Vinification

Gentle pressing; parcels vinified separately. Fermentation occurs in small French oak barrels (some new) with long lees contact and neutral/indigenous yeasts. Malolactic happens only if needed.

Aging

Only made from the best vintages. 9–10 months in French oak, followed by bottle aging. Minimal filtration.

Borgo del Tiglio, guided by Nicola Manferrari, has become a benchmark for white wine in Friuli, celebrated for the remarkable textural complexity he brings to varietals like Friulano, Sauvignon Blanc, Malvasia, and Chardonnay. Originally trained as a pharmacist, Nicola let curiosity and a deep respect for the land guide his path, managing yields with precise pruning, maintaining full grass coverage, and avoiding fertilizers. In the cellar, his hands-off approach and use of gravity allow the vineyard’s unique soils, microclimates, and vine age to express themselves fully, producing wines that reflect both Friuli’s character and Nicola’s scientific precision and patient craftsmanship.
