Definitely the most important native friulian wine. Thirty years ago it was considered virtually extinct.

In 1973 we planted our first new Pignolo vineyard, with scions obtained from the last twelve a hundred-year-old vines still surviving in Rosazzo and three years later, when we picked the first bunches, we at once realized the reason of its disappearance: the low yeld of the vines.

Pignolo is very late harvested and aged over two years in 100% new french oak barrels. It does need years to mellow out its incredible wealth of tannins, but it rewards patience by evolving into a distinctly superior wine.

Meditation wine, good pairing with cheese, red meat and game.
