Collio
It is pleasant on the nose with strong varietal scents, white fruit, aromatic herbs, sage and almond. In the mouth it is well balanced, dry, with great softness with a finish that recalls bitter almond

The power and clarity of the aromas: how much the wine speaks to the nose.

The salty, mineral note that makes the wine savoury and dynamic.
Acidity and freshnessApple
The freshness that cleanses the palate: more acidity, a livelier sip.
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 enveloping roundness on the palate, without edges — soft as hot chocolate.
The story
2012: the first bottled vintage. The Terre del Faet agricultural company is one of the youngest companies in the Collio; young like its owner. Andrea Drius, in fact, is only 34 years old but we know that the chronological age is only a "mark on paper". In 2008, he began to follow his grandfather's vineyards - located in the Faet area - as a "second job", and then decided to dedicate himself completely to it. Currently, the company manages approximately 6 hectares of vineyards, with a predilection for native varieties, managed according to the organic regime.
The producer
Terre Del Faet
“Un ambiente sano è capace di autoregolarsi, di trovare il proprio equilibrio. Il nostro sforzo è quello di tutelare l’ecosistema attorno alla vite e la sua intrinseca perfezione, concentrandone la bellezza, nel calice."
Obtained from the spontaneous fermentation of grapes from old vines, aged between 40 and 70 years, they are wines of great longevity and recognisability, characterized by a recurring savory streak, typically given by the ponca. Currently, the bottles produced are around 30,000/year.
