ABOUT THIS BOTTLE
In 1998 Marco Cecchini inherited his grandfather's 2 hectare vineyard. He decided to revitalize the farm located in Faedis, a small town in eastern Friuli, embracing the philosophies of biodynamic and organic farming. Maintaining optimum freshness by keeping oxygen from his grapes once they're harvested, Marco farms his limestone-rich soils to produce some of the most interesting and dynamic expressions of fruit from his native Friuli. The tasting notes include pear, citrus, almond, tropical fruit, honey, citrus, floral and minerality. The nose displays wildflower, pear, citrus, almond, tropical fruit, honey, floral and minerality.
