Vinnae
Jermann
“Vinnae” comes out after ageing partially in big oak barrels, and it is made by an accurate selection of different grapes: Ribolla Gialla, Friulano and Riesling. The producer, Silvio Jermann, has been taking over the family business in the 1970s, and has raised the quality of his wines and grown the range.
This wine is a medium bodied dry white and has a clear, brilliant straw-yellow colour. Its aroma is fruity, mineral and elegant, with a taste that is zesty and full-flavoured.
“What impresses me most about these wines is the purity and depth of flavour coupled with huge mineral extract, all perfectly poised and in bilance”

Friuli Venezia Giulia
Geographyand Climate Conditions
Friuli-Venezia Giulia is a wine region in the far north-eastern corner of Italy, and is bound by the borders with Austria and Slovenia. Though the wines produced in this region represent only two percent of the Italy's production, to some here is where the best whites are made.
The mountainous topography in the north and east lifts many vineyards above the low-lying cloud that is sometimes trapped between the hills and the coast. This allows the vines to bask in bright sunshine without overheating, allowing the grapes to develop full phenolic complexity and aromatic depth before their sugar levels peak.
DOCG and DOC
The region is home to three DOCG titles, all for white wines. The Colli Orientali del Friuli Picolit and its Ramandolo enclave, and Rosazzo DOCG. Complementing the three DOCGs are ten DOCs with the most important represented by Friuli-Grave DOC, Lison-Pramaggiore DOC, Carso DOC which is the most eastern italian DOC, stretching around Trieste, including also part of Balcanic peninsula. Colli Orientali del Friuli and Collio Goriziano are the remainings DOC where are produced outstanding white wines.
Grape varieties
Apart for Friulano wine, other local whites include Müller-Thurgau, Pinot Bianco, Pinot Grigio, Ribolla Gialla, Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, Traminer Aromatico, Verduzzo and Malvasia Istriana. Among the reds produced in Friuli-Venezia Giulia are Collio Cabernet, Merlot, Pignolo, Pinot Noir, Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso, Schioppettino, Tazzelenghe.
