Alessandra Felluga produces stunning, modern and authentic wines from old vines on her beautiful estate.
This is a richly aromatic and full-flavoured wine, bursting with fresh citrusy fruit and an appealing almond note which underpins the lingering aromatic finish.
The Castello di Buttrio vineyard is situated on the hillside slopes at 142 metres above sea level, which ensures excellent air circulation to keep the vines healthy. The Fruilano vines range from 15 to 80 years in age and planted in soils that are made up of layers of marl and sandstone of Eocene origin, known locally as ‘ponca’ in Friulian, which contains marine fossils originating from the Adriatic Sea. This soil produces textured and concentrated wines which are balanced by cutting acidity, thanks to the soil’s high pH and cool temperature.
