What kind of wine is Friuli Colli Orientali Bianco DOC 'I Clivi Galea' 2023 - I Clivi?
The Friuli Colli Orientali Bianco DOC 'I Clivi Galea' 2023 - I Clivi is a Friulian white wine of great personality, profound and authentic. It originates in the heart of the Colli Orientali del Friuli, a hilly region renowned for producing mineral-rich and long-lived white wines. The grapes come from a single vineyard over 70 years old, situated on marl and flysch soils, rich in mineral components that give the wine its typical freshness and distinct territorial character. The style is that of "substantial" white wines: fresh, savory, and finely aromatic, capable of combining elegance and depth in a balanced and persistent sip.Vintage Details
2023 in Friuli was a balanced year, characterized by a mild spring and a summer without excessive heat. Regular rainfall favored perfect grape maturation, allowing for high acidity levels and clear aromas. The result is a harmonious wine, where freshness and structure coexist in natural balance.Winemaking and Aging
I Clivi's production philosophy is based on absolute respect for the fruit and the territory. After a manual harvest, the grapes are spontaneously fermented with indigenous yeasts, without the addition of additives or fining. Aging takes place for several months on the fine lees (the yeasts remaining after fermentation), a process that gives the wine greater complexity, body, and natural softness. No wood aging, only stainless steel, to preserve the aromatic purity and typical freshness of the grape variety.Tasting Notes
Color: Bright straw yellow with golden reflections, indicating good maturity and vibrancy.
Nose: The nose opens with elegant aromas of white flowers, citrus, and ripe yellow fruit. Mineral hints and slight notes of wild herbs emerge thereafter, typical of wines from marly soils.
Palate: On the palate, it is taut and vibrant, with a beautiful acidity that supports a round and harmonious body. The minerality stands out clearly, giving the finish a long, saline, and refreshing persistence.
