Description:
Silvana Forte and Flavio Basilicata established the estate in 1984 with the idea of producing wines with both tradition and sense of terroir. They are a team that is committed to wines that flout traditional canons. Flavio started as a consultant winemaker in the late seventies, working mainly in the Colli Orientali del Friuli appellation and having a lot of experiences with both international and local grapes. Since the beginning, their main focus was to grow Refosco, Schioppettino and Tocai, classic varietals from the area and particularly well performing in the village of Prepotto where the estate is located. Le due terre means two soils: the two soils in question are marl and clay plots divided by the road in Prepotto. Flavio is a sort of avant-garde traditionalist. He wants to keep alive the varietals and the ancient methods but he's perfectly aware of the necessity of refinement and complexity required by today's wine drinkers. For him originality and terroir are a real challenge and his winemaking approach is simply, 'less is better'. That's why he prefers not to rack the wines if unnecessary, preferring the action of the lees and oxygen to any intrusive manipulation. The Pinot Nero is truly Burgundian in style, with lovely scents of red fruit, rose petals and potpourri spice. Both velvety and steely it is balanced, clean and long (6 x 75 cl)

Specogna Pignolo ColliOrientalidelFriuli DOC
Description: 100% Pignolo, it is an intense, deep ruby red coloured wine with mauve highlights. After spending between 18 and 24 months in wooden barrels it has developed a nose of real power as notes of plum, violet, mulberry, cocoa, vanilla and spice develop and establish themselves on the palate. Good fruit structure, tannin and balanced acidity are evident through to the long finish. (6 x 75 cl) Price: £129.89
