Winery Overview
The Perusini vineyards are one of the 50 happy few listed by Luigi Veronelli in “I vignaioli storici” (The Italian Wine-growers Bible). Today the estate is run by Giampaolo’s daughter, Teresa, an art historian like her uncle, but also a keen cultivator who divides her time between her studies and running the estate together with her husband Giacomo de Pace and her three sons. For centuries, the hills of Gramogliano have been renowned, like Rosazzo and Rocca Bernarda, not just for their natural beauty, but also for the terrain, position and microclimate that make up the cru hors classe of Friuli’s Colli Orientali.

Vinification
The vinification took place in stainless steel tanks with specially selected yeasts. The temperature during fermentation was maintained at around 30° C. The wine was regularly punched down during the maceration period, which lasted for 18 days. At the end of the alcoholic fermentation the wine was pressed immediately and a 30% of the total was put into medium toast French oak barrels, in which it underwent malolactic fermentation. The rest of it complete is aging in the steel tank barrel.
