GAF Blanc Friuli DOC 2022
GAF Blanc Friuli DOC 2022
In addition to the Ronc Platât brand, Tommaso also produces and bottles the GAF wines - Garagisti Anonimi Friulani. These wines are created as a "collective" with some friends with the aim of experimenting with blends and lesser known vineyards. These are serious and high-quality wines that explore new flavors and terroirs.
GAF Blanc is a fascinating blend of friulano, ribolla gialla and sauvignon blanc, all coming from carefully selected vineyards in Colli Orientali and Collio.
30% friulano (from Rosazzo vineyard), 30% ribolla gialla (from Rosazzo vineyard) and 30% sauvignon blanc (from Ruttars, near Cormons in Collio DOC). As this wine is a blend of grapes from two different appellations, it is classified as Friuli DOC.
With a small harvest yield of only 3 tonnes per hectare, we get an intense and concentrated taste experience.
Aging is done in a combination of old barriques and stainless steel.
Sauvignon Blanc contributes an aromatic freshness that complements the traditional Collio blend of Friulano and Ribolla Gialla in a refreshing way.
The fragrance opens with fine flowers, fruit and spices, complimented by hints of wet stones. The taste has a pleasant inner sweetness and juicy acidity that accentuates the minerality. Fine notes of apples and pears. Rounds off with a concentrated, tangy citrus flavor and a herbaceous finish that ends long and tasty.
This careful composition results in a wine that is both complex and harmonious, perfect to experience the taste of the unique terroir of the Friuli region.
