ARBIS

ARBIS BLANC 

On the grassy vineyard, the solar encounter of Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio and other great varieties.

"A new wine, the son of more grapes,
fresh and young, tied to a magical place. "

"Arbis" is an ancient name for a young wine which peaks the language of flowers and aromatic herbs, and in fact in Friulan the name means 'herbs'. The choice of the word is the simplest way to describe how we grow it, in a vineyard with a covering of wild grasses and herbs. Grass cover, cut back periodically, is a way to mitigate the effects of the mono-culture typical of today's specialised vineyards and above all to contain the vigour of the vine. Arbis is at the same time an alternative and a complement to the monovarietals, an expression of the mutual diversity of the varieties which compose it but also the splendid unity they create in the wine.

ARBIS RÒS

Pignolo in purity: the cultured recovery of a forgotten grape variety.

"You will discover suggestions of cherry, strawberry, raspberry,

blackberry jam, black currant "

The wild herbs that grow in these soils are innumerable and so are the aromas of the wines that spring from them. However, there are only two "Arbis". The red version is a ruby shade with a slightly grassy character, underlined by ripe red fruit - look for cherry, strawberry, raspberry, blackberry jam and blue berries. This is pignolo, a grape with a unique history, full of personality, stubborn and uncompromising, disposed to excel only in dry exposed sites. If grown with loving care, it is capable of expressing its untamed youthful soul, which with time evolves into the same velvety textures that for centuries have been the hallmark of the world's great red wines.
