Riviere

this is Riviere, which is 100 percent Friulano, produced from an old variety of yellow tocai vines with a red stalk. It is a decidedly original wine, with a marked and characteristic identity: fine and elegant, it has an inner strength and structure that incredibly allow it to compete with great red wines.

The producer

Flaibani

Coraggio, determinazione e volontà: questi siamo noi. Il coraggio di fare vini non convenzionali e in armonia con la Natura; la determinazione di vivere seguendo ritmi biologici, in cui la Vita e la vite si intrecciano; la volontà di realizzare un sogno, che parte dalla custodia dell’ambiente in cui viviamo.

Nature and the local landscape speak through their wines, bringing an authentic and distinctive identity to every bottle. The range comprises a single white wine — the Riviere, a Friulano of the Giallo dal Peduncolo Rosso variety — alongside Pinot Grigio Ramato, Schioppettino, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and, in favourable vintages, Refosco dal P.R. blended with Franconia. In the cellar, vinification follows precise timelines and deliberate pauses: no rushing, just listening to the wine and respecting its natural rhythm. The result is a deliberately limited production — fewer than 10,000 bottles — because quality is not scaled but preserved.
