Borgo del Tiglio - Friulano Collio 2021

Continue Shopping Add to Wish List

This varietal Friulano is fruit-driven, clean, and loaded with pleasantly spicy notes of stone fruit, peach skin, pithy citrus, and crushed almonds. The wine’s rather full-bodied palate and ample amounts of acidity make it perfect for sipping with scallops, cheese boards, or ‘hard-to-pair’ vegetables. 

The Collio is made from Tocai (Friulano), Sauvignon, and Riesling Renano. The blend was born in 1989, following a series of experimental blends when trying to create the first vintage of Studio di Bianco.

The Collio has become a collection of the various varieties Nicola works with and a snapshot of a particular vintage. The three varieties are particularly suitable to be vinifed together as they are complementary in many respects: the high acid quality of the Sauvignon and the Riesling balances the power and body of Tocai.

Borgo del Tiglio produces wine from three parcels all located on the hills of the DOC Collio area. It is one of the most endorsed areas for white wines in Italy and it consists of a small hill chain located on the most eastern limb of Northern Italy.

The closeness to the Adriatic Sea and to the Julian Alps makes for significant climatic differences depending on the exposure of the area. The soil too, generated by the fragmentation of marl and sandstone layers that form the subsoil, varies depending on the area.

Since 1987 the wine cellar has been engaged in studying these differences in order to bring out the terroir of its wines. The aim is to specialize the three properties of Brazzano, Ruttars and Ca’ della Vallade in the cultivation of those grapes that are best suited to be cultivated on a certain site.
