Valle, Friuli

Floral aromatics of orange blossom and also dried flowers, with just a whiff of distant petrol fumes, give way to a fully dry, simple yet elegant palate, slightly more akin to styles from Alsace than German Kabinett.

The Valle estate

One of the region's pioneers of cold fermentation techniques and the use of stainless steel vats to maintain the freshness of delicate white varietals, Gigi Valle is also a stalwart champion of indigenous local grapes like Ribolla Gialla, (Tocai) Friulano and Refosco. The winemaking here, overseen by Paolo, Gigi's son is a great testament to both innovation and tradition - put simply: Valle make old wines better.
