Villa Russiz Pinot Bianco 2021
This Pinot Blanc is created by Villa Russiz winery located in prestigious Collio area of Friuli. The wine is a straw yellow colour, delicate on the nose with nuances of fruit and owes and a very evident note of golden delicious apples.
Pairing suggestions: ideal for simple fish courses, raw fish appetizers, the preparation of molluscs or clams in wine, first courses like soups, risotto or pasta with delicate sauces.
Vinification: perfectly ripened grapes are hand-harvested during the chilly early hours of the day. The bunches are then quickly carried to the cellar where they are gently pressed. The rest must is pumped into temperature-controlled stainless steel vats. The wine is kept on its lees for at least 8 months before bottling, 8-9 months after harvest.

About the winery
Villa Russiz was founded on 15 February 1868 with the marriage of Elvine Ritter von Zahony to Theodor de La Tour. Elvine’s dowry, Villa Russiz, turns out to be an area which is still particularly conducive to the cultivation of vines and for producing wines of an exceptional quality.
The wines are part of the Collio controlled nomination of origin: an elegant Sauvignon de La Tour; a Gräfin de La Tour, a refined chardonnay; a Graf de La Tour, a velvety merlot and the Défi de La Tour Cabernet Sauvignon. Les Enfants, the only non-doc exception is a blend of grapes with a name that recalls the estate’s historical commitment within the social sector. In terms of taste, Les Enfants evokes the most characteristic nuances of the Collio territory thanks to its Pinot Banco and Pinot Grigio grapes, and a small percentages of Ribolla and Sauvignon are added to complete its harmony and freshness.
