His son Giuliano tended them. Now it is Alessandro and Manuele, the fourth generation, who oversee this small certified organic estate in the coolest, wettest corner of the Colli Orientali, where the hillsides are made of ponca, the local flysch marl and sandstone that gives these Friulian wines their lean, mineral character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Sara family does not make this wine every year. They bottle it only when the vintage delivers the acidity the grapes need, and only from a single southeast-facing hillside called Colvierie, where the ponca soils are at their richest and the vines climb to 350 meters. When the conditions are right, they produce 2,500 bottles. When they are not, there is no Colvierie.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFriulano, once called Tocai, is the emblematic grape of this region. The grapes are whole-cluster pressed, settled for 24 hours, then fermented spontaneously in French oak tonneaux. Ten months in wood, six more in steel on the lees, bottled without clarification or filtration. What comes through is straw-yellow and luminous: chamomile, ripe pear and white peach, a drift of sage and thyme, and friulano's signature whisper of bitter almond on the finish. Bright acidity, mineral salinity, a long close. A white that rewards patience at the table and in the cellar.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yes Society","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51341169131816,"sku":"AT22SARACOLVIERIE750","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/1794\/6152\/files\/2022Sara_Sara_FriulanoColvierie_FriuliColliOrientaliDOC_Friuli-VeneziaGiulia_Italy.jpg?v=1772748821","url":"https:\/\/yes-society.com\/products\/2022-sara-sara-friulano-colvierie-friuli-colli-orientali-doc-friuli-venezia-giulia-italy","provider":"Yes Society","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
