Arteus -La Viarte

This wine originated from a desire to stand out from the crowd and truly display the terroir. Varieties that have now become distinctive of the Friulan land and its sun, express the true heart of our region. Balance, elegance, and complexity characterize its organoleptic expression. This wine does not want to be different, but to enhance its distinctive nature.” Gianni Menotti

Viticulture

Vineyards located at between 150 and 180 m a.s.l., East south-east facing on Eocene marl and
sandstone hillslopes.

Vinification

The grapes are fermented without skins after soft pressing. Fermentation is carried out in stainless
steel tanks at 16° C. A little portion ferments in barriques. The three varieties are crafted separately and eventually assembled.

The wines remain on the lees in the stainless steel tanks and barriques for 7 months and stabilize in the bottle for at least 1 month before release.

Food Pairings

Crustaceans, fresh egg pasta, and pasta au gratin, oven-baked fatty fish or with tomato sauce, white meats, roasted suckling pork, fat cheeses, and important charcuterie. Delightful with Culatello di Zibello prosciutto, Catalan style lobster, tagliolini pasta with mullet and saffron, pistachio, and thyme roast rabbit. Intriguing with spicy dishes typical of ethnic cuisine.
