Description:

It features an intense ruby ​​color with vibrant purple highlights. The aromatic profile develops with personality, offering a blend of wild blackberries and blueberries, enriched with characteristic herbaceous notes and an unmistakable minerality typical of the area. On the palate, it is vigorous and full-bodied, with a vibrant acidity that blends with firm yet refined tannins, creating a pleasant sensation of freshness and persistence. It pairs magnificently with the typical San Daniele prosciutto and traditional dishes such as musetto with horseradish, but is also perfect with grilled red meats, game birds, and medium-aged cheeses.

One of Friuli's historic winemaking estates, with a tradition dating back to the 19th century, Villanova stands out for its focus on native grape varieties and a production approach that combines tradition and technological innovation. The winemaking process involves destemming followed by maceration for approximately 15 days with frequent pumping over. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, followed by aging in large oak barrels for 12 months, allowing the wine to evolve while preserving its varietal character.
