2022 Specogna Friulano
£21.50
Certified organic (Ecocert).
“This really captures Friulano! White tannins, cobnuts, pears, bay leaves. Citrus that is both sweet and bitter (like dried and candied lemon and grapefruit slices). A bell curve of flavour that starts a bit tight and snippy (tannins on the tip of the tongue and struck-match, go-away-I’m-busy smokiness) and then suddenly fills the mouth with ripe fruit and spherical sweetness peppered with tiny tiny prickles of spritz.”

Product Description
In 1963 Leonardo Specogna, after residing in Switzerland as an emigrant for some years (typical situation for the people of the Friuli region in those years), went back to Friuli Venezia Giulia and bought a small plot of land on the hills of Rocca Bernarda in Corno di Rosazzo, in the heart of the vineyards in Friuli. These lands have always been devoted to oenology and here the plant of the vine has found the best conditions since Roman times, thanks to the fact that in this oriental strip of land of our region the climate and the soil have features that are unique and exceptional for winemaking. That was the origin of it… It all started with a 360-degree company that covered many aspects of the production for private consumption: dairy, cereal and wine production. Later, when Graziano started working in the company, the management techniques of the vineyards and of the winemaking were improved, making the farm more specifically focused on the winemaking sector. Nowadays, the activity of the company is galvanised by the presence of the third generation of Specogna winemakers Cristian and Michele that long ago have taken the lead of the company.
