In 1896 Eugenio Collavini, the founder, first supplied to the best Udinese's families his wines without ever imagining that a century later they would reach the world over The grapes, carefully chosen amongst the over-ripened bunches, are gathered separately on special grid trays. Only the Tocai Friulano and the Chardonnay grapes are then concentrated in a modern temperature and humidity controlled fruit-cell. The Sauvignon grapes are gently pressed and the juice maintained at a low temperature in order to block fermentation. The pressing of Tocai Friulano and Chardonnay grapes then follows, before these three are then fermented together in small oak barrels from the Allier forest, that are perfectly aged and toasted. The wine is bottled and rests for further 3-4 months before release. The wine is a blend of Tocai Friulano, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanch and has a deep golden yellow colour with aromas of sweet acacia and vanilla that integrate well with the tropical fruit notes. This wine presents a full body, round, harmonious and long with lingering aromas. (6 x 75 cl)

The top of the hill is the most suitable part of the vineyard: sun, range of temperature and ventilation make up the best atmospheric conditions in order to achieve the perfection of grapes. The name of this wine is derived, according to the Friuli language, from the name of a hill or a mountain summit or 'Pic'. This wine has been produced making use of the typical regional variety of Merlot dal Piduncolo Rosso grapes as well as of Merlot grapes of french origin. The vines used in this wine are between 25 and 30 years old. A deep ruby-red coloured wine it is also showing violet hues, while there is a complex, concentrated and intense scent of blackberry, liquorice and spicy notes that overlap with a delicate vanilla backtaste. The sensations in the mouth enlarge themselves imperiously; the taste seems richly fruity, thick and dense all at once, with delicate and soft tannins. In its final expression it gives off all its refined body developing a heat which overwhelms because of its intensity and balance. Available in Original Wooden Crate. (6 x 75 cl)

There's no doubting its great robustness and richness of colour in this Merlot, when young it shows violet reflections which gradually take on a garnet hue as it ages. A full, lingering, constant nose, hints of slightly vinous vanilla, just a touch of herbs, and strong overtones of raspberry and blackberry. As the Merlot ages it refines considerably, reaching a balanced, harmonic complexity. The flavour is dry, robust, with just the right amount of tannin and a clean reflection of the nose. With time, it develops a full fragrance and good aromatic persistency.

In 1896 Eugenio Collavini, the founder, first supplied to the best Udinese's families his wines without ever imagining that a century later they would reach the world over. Thanks to the lucky foresight and intuition of the Manlio Collavini, Il Grigio was created in 1974. The foundations for a good sparkling wine were already in the cellars. The right mixture just had to be found between Prosecco, and Chardonnay to obtain a wine that would be innovative and easy to drink. Chardonnay was chosen for its elegance and body. The addition of the Prosecco was essential, for a sparkling wine that's easy to drink and even easier to enjoy. The Chardonnay grapes come mainly from the Friuli hills, the Prosecco from Conegliano and Valdobbiadene. Made separately, they come together in the tank. This Sparkling wine is a bright straw colour with a greenish tint and a lasting foam with fine, constant bubbles. A fragrant nose with a hint of apples and pears as well as the scent of yeast lead to a full flavoured wine with a slight touch of citron and a long-lasting taste. (12 x 75 cl)
