Friulano
Straw yellow color with slightly golden reflections. On the nose it has good intensity and complexity. It is fragrant, inviting and fruity, with notes of high mountain meadow flowers and a pleasant hint of almond. The taste is fresh and harmonious, with good structure and notable aromatic persistence.

PersistenceStopwatch
How long the flavours linger after the sip: the length on the palate.
AlcoholWhiskey
The warmth and body of alcohol: the higher it is, the warmer and fuller the wine.
SoftnessHot chocolate

The story
Having arrived in '89 as a cellar master, Paolo Corso is today the oenologist of the "Borgo Conventi" winery in Farra d'Isonzo - which, right from its name, recalls the monastic atmosphere that surrounds it. The origins, in fact, are curious: on the same plot on which the winery now stands, there should have been one of the first monasteries of the "Lower", as the result of an agreement between a wealthy landowner and a friar devoted to charity. The tranquility that can be felt has remained the same, despite the new – and different – mission. 30 hectares of vineyards, SQNPI certified, part of which is in Collio. Borgo Conventi is today the "home" of Paolo Corso and the "oenological gem" of the Polegato family, already owners of Villa Sandi in Treviso.
The producer
Tenuta Borgo Conventi
“Curare i vigneti è il gesto più importante, dal 1975, da quando è nata la nostra Azienda. Nei nostri terreni sul Collio, si sente ancora l’odore del mare ma le onde, sono i verdi vigneti a terrazze”
Approaching the fermentation room, you can smell the aromas of the pomace and must, sinuous and invigorating, like the wines: Sauvignon, Ribolla Gialla, Pinot Grigio and Friulano but also Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso and others. Refined wines, which "tell" a territory and its origins.
