Valle, Friuli

Attempting to emulate the Silex style from Sancerre, The Araldica does a partial wash in oak which softens Sauvignon's sometime spikiness but does not otherwise influence the real fumé charater of this complex wine.

The Valle estate

One of the region's pioneers of cold fermentation techniques and the use of stainless steel vats to maintain the freshness of delicate white varietals, Gigi Valle is also a stalwart champion of indigenous local grapes like Ribolla Gialla, (Tocai) Friulano and Refosco. The winemaking here, overseen by Paolo, Gigi's son is a great testament to both innovation and tradition - put simply: Valle make old wines better.
