Region

The Alpine foothills of Friuli Venezia Giulia on the Italian boarder with Slovenia, cover a variety of altitudes and microlimates. Crisp, well defined varietal white wines and fresh, fruit oriented reds are produced from many well known and localised varieties. Pinot Grigio attains depth and character grown in this cool climate, Merlot has balance and a backbone of acidity, whilst Picolit, Tocai Friulano and Refosco are distinct regional specialities.

Producer

The La Di Motte wine company began in the 1970s in Motta di Livenza, in the vine-covered lands on the border between the regions of the Veneto and Friuli. The 100 plus hectares of `La Di Motte` vineyards have benefited from a recent and extensive programme of environmental upgrading. This has involved the removal of old vineyards and the planting of new vines in more modern vineyard layouts, as well as adopting advanced viticultural practices and innovative technology through the entire winemaking process.
Tasting Notes
La di Motte is focused on creating high quality wines using a combination of traditional and modern winemaking techniques. Straw yellow in colour with lively highlights. This wine has an elegant bouquet with typical varietal aromas of white flowers and stone fruits. Soft on the palate with notes of ripe apples, peach, melon and pear with a well-balanced acidity and a long and lingering finish.
Food
Excellent with fish dishes and cheeses.
