BROY, COLLAVINI

_

Synonymous with elegance, continuous attention to quality, telling the elegance, consistency and history of Collavini in a glass.
The Friulano and Chardonnay grapes partially dry in the fruit cellar at a controlled temperature of 12°C with humidity close to zero. The Sauvignon, on the other hand, is pressed separately after a short maceration and cooled to block its fermentation.
When the concentration of the grapes reaches the desired level, the three musts are blended and the fermentation takes place partly in steel, partly in third passage barriques and tonneaux. The refinement on the noble lees lasts until the second spring after the harvest, followed by bottling in early summer.
The origin of the name Broy is interesting: it derives from “broili”, a small vegetable garden that in the past surrounded Friulian houses where vines were planted for the production of wine for domestic consumption.

Suggestions

It goes excellently with the great dishes of Italian cuisine: from baked fish or with sauce, to soups and risotto with truffles, up to medium-aged cheeses. Also excellent with some local specialities, with the boreto di canoce (sea cicada) and the “toc in braide” with twisted foie gras.

BIANCO, COLLAVINI

_

A wine that speaks for itself. The Chardonnay and Ribolla Gialla grapes, harvested separately, are placed on trays and stored in the loft for a week, at controlled temperature and humidity.
After pressing, the must, left in contact with the lees for one night, ferments in steel tanks at a temperature not exceeding 16° C. The refinement on the lees continues until early spring to give life to a fresh and elegant wine.

RAME, COLLAVINI

_

A pink note among bubbles, whites and reds signed by Collavini. Rame comes from Pinot and Refosco grapes, harvested by hand and vinified in two distinct moments. They are then left to macerate on the skins for a sufficient time to give the wine the coppery colour, from which it takes its name.
The fermentation, in steel at a controlled temperature, preserves the typical characteristics of the two vines and gives freshness to the wine.

Suggestions

Wine for Mediterranean pasta, white meats, grilled or baked fish. Also ideal as an aperitif.
