A Day in Ca'Tullio

Learning about the archeological importance of Aquileia, the soil and the historical weight of the area and the building which Ca'Tullio is located provided us with a feeling this wine tasting session was going to be unique. From its first awakenings as a tobacco manufacturing plant to what is now a local and international wine producer, the expectation of what we were about to experience had us clicking our feet together like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz eager to try the wine varieties on offer. We started with whites - what the region is most renowned for - from the typical Friulano (which is considered the standard house wine), to Trainer, Ribolla Gialla, Muller, Pinot Grigio then sampling some of the reds such as Refosco and Pignolo. The piece de resistance was definitely the Prosecco. I was a little dubious at first when presented with the Prosecco Rose Brut (I'm not a fan of Rose) however, this light and effervescent dry Processo was not what I expected. Sweet and sickly it definitely is NOT, the Processo was dry and light. It blew my mind. But I simply can't go past my tipple of the day - the Ribolla Gialla Brut. This Processo was dry, soft and yet intense. I ended up buying a couple of bottles of the Ribolla Gialla Brut as it will make a fantastic aperitivo at Christmas lunch! The wines were carefully curated and paired with local meats, cheese, bread, biscuits and honey from the Friuli Venezia Giulia region. What is interesting is that every part of the grape is used at Ca'Tullio and it's important to mention that even the discarded red wine skins are used to produce red wine flour which is then used to make Red Wine Grissini Sticks and sweet Petit Four Biscuits that we sampled. These biscuits will go splendidly with the Ribolla Gialla Brut at Christmas aperitivo! The staff were exceptional in their knowledge, their pride in where they work and they really did take us under their wings to look after us. What we booked was a 1.5 hour wine tasting package what we received was an unforgettable experience which lasted in excess of 3 hours. We loved our time at Ca'Tullio and can't wait to return.

Super nice place. Excellent wines, proseccos, grappas. Delicious hams, salamis, cheeses. The wine tasting is well worth it, as well as buying some of the most delicious wines afterwards. Also, the wines are available at very good prices. I highly recommend it.
