Terroir:
The Friulian Grave is an area in the high plains of Friuli Venezia Giulia. Our vineyards are located in the western part of this zone, in the province of Pordenone, near the Carnic Prealps, at an altitude of 80 to 90 meters above sea level. This landscape was shaped over millennia by limestone and dolomite debris carried down from the mountains by the Meduna, Cellina rivers and from glaciations. The zone enjoys an exceptional microclimate for viticulture due to two key geographic factors: The mountains to the north, which shield the vineyards from cold northern winds; The Adriatic Sea, which mitigates temperatures across the plain. The most extraordinary feature of this landscape is its vast expanse of stones, which acts as a natural temperature regulator for the vines. During the day, the pebbles reflect the light and heat needed for the grapes to ripen. At night, they release the stored heat, keeping climate conditions steady. This controlled thermal balance is crucial in late summer, as it extends the harvest season to yield sweeter, highly aromatic grapes.
Harvest:
Picked by hand
Fermentation:
Steel (100%)
Storage:
Steel (100%) 12 months
Winemaker:
Fabio Bessich
After harvesting, the grapes are left to macerate for a few hours in the press, then gently pressed and the juice is transferred to a steel tank at a controlled temperature of 15°C. After decanting for a few hours, the juice is transferred back to another tank and left to ferment for 10/12 days. Finish the ferment, the wine is transfer and remaing with the sediments for minimum 12 months.

Information
The Bessich winery start its history in 1959, when Antonio Bessich, having reached the Friuli lands from nearby Istria, started the wine production together with his son Luciano. Today the company is run by Luciano's sons: Daniela, Alessandra, Roberto and Fabio and his wife Giuditta. The company develops in the province of Pordenone, in the land of "Grave", stony soils of river origin, from which a production is born that brings together typical wines and blends signed by Bessich.
