White Wines

Isonzo del Friuli DOC

Il Latimis rappresenta l’essenza stilistica di Giorgio Badin e della cantina Ronco del Gelso: un uvaggio bianco di grande equilibrio che fonde sapientemente le caratteristiche delle varietà autoctone e internazionali coltivate nei suoli ciottolosi del Friuli Isonzo.

Profilo Organolettico

• Visivo: Si presenta con un colore giallo paglierino brillante, impreziosito da riflessi verdolini che ne sottolineano la giovinezza e la freschezza.

• Olfattivo: Il bouquet è intenso e sfaccettato. Emergono nitide note di frutta a polpa bianca (pesca, mela golden) e sentori floreali di sambuco, accompagnati da una delicata sfumatura minerale e aromatica che richiama le erbe officinali.

• Gustativo: Al palato è armonico e avvolgente. La struttura è sostenuta da una vibrante acidità che conferisce dinamicità al sorso, culminando in un finale sapido, pulito e di ottima persistenza.

Caratteristiche Tecniche

• Vitigni: Un blend armonico (generalmente Friulano, Pinot Bianco, Sauvignon e Riesling) che varia leggermente a seconda dell'annata per mantenere costante l'alto profilo qualitativo.

• Terroir: Proviene da terreni di origine alluvionale, ricchi di scheletro (ghiaia), che conferiscono al vino la tipica impronta minerale della zona dell'Isonzo.

• Vinificazione: Maturazione esclusivamente in vasche d'acciaio per preservare l'integrità del frutto e la freschezza varietale, evitando l'uso del legno.

Abbinamenti Consigliati

Si accompagna magnificamente ad antipasti magri, primi piatti a base di verdure o pesce, risotti alle erbe e preparazioni a base di crostacei. Eccellente anche come aperitivo elegante.

• Temperatura di servizio: 10-12°C

• Grado alcolico: 13% vol. (circa)

Château Pépusque, located in the Minervois appellation in the Languedoc region of France, presents its 2022 "Cuvée Marco," an exceptional white wine. This cuvée is made with carefully selected regional grapes, reflecting the diverse and natural terroir of Languedoc, where the Mediterranean climate provides warm, sunny summers. The winemaking process is geared toward the pure expression of aromas, resulting in a lively yet elegant wine. The region, rich in diverse soils ranging from limestone to clay-limestone, is home to generous and authentic wines. Renowned for its commitment to tradition and quality, Château Pépusque is a respected benchmark in the local winemaking scene.

To pair this Languedoc white wine, consider dishes such as seafood, a warm goat's cheese salad, or fish in a light sauce. The fresh, fruity flavors of the "Cuvée Marco" pair perfectly with the delicate textures and light notes of these dishes.

Also opt for regional dishes such as cod brandade or bouillabaisse, which will blend harmoniously with the minerality and elegance of this wine.

When tasting, serve this wine between 10 and 12°C to appreciate all its aromatic nuances.

Decanting is generally not necessary, although gentle aeration can reveal its complexity.

Situated in a region packed with historical interest, this award-winning Domaine is perched on a hilltop overlooking the Saône Plain in Mâcon. Close by is the Paleolithic archaeological site Pech de l'Aze, which proves that agricultural activity has gone on in this region since the Iron Age. By comparison, at Domaine des Terre Gentilles, winemaking has been taking place over a considerably shorter space of time but with equal cultural significance. Most of this Domaine's vineyards were originally cultivated by monks at the Medieval Christian Abbey at Cluny. Established in 1921 by Jean-Pierre Marillier, this award-winning 36-hectare family-owned estate is now expertly run by son and rising star winemaker Mikaël Marillier who is now creating benchmark Mâcon-Village wines.

The Saint-Joseph appellation covers 1,200 hectares and is located on the right bank of the Rhône River. The soils are homogeneous, primarily granite rock and rarely limestone. The slopes are steep, and the vineyards are planted on terraces. The white wines (20% of production) are made from the Marsanne and Roussane grape varieties.

This producer ages its white wines in wooden barrels for up to ten months, giving the wine a slightly oaky flavor that places it among the best produced in the Saint Joseph district.

The wine is harvested strictly by hand, without the use of machinery that could damage the rows.
