A very expressive nose with aromas of passion fruit, pineapple, grapefruit and sage. Many flowers and a hint of peach, apricot and pear, but also a touch of lime that keeps the wine lively and interesting. Golden yellow colour.

Other information

Doi Raps is Friulian dialect for "2 grapes", referring to the 2 grape bunches per vine that are always "forgotten" during harvest. These bunches can ripen even further and develop more concentration due to the extra sunlight they receive. Made from 40% Pinot Bianco, 40% Pinot Grigio, 16% Sauvignon Blanc and 4% Moscato Gialla. The good structure of the wine is partly due to the fact that approximately 20% of the wine had brief contact with oak (500 liter barrels). This ensures a good structure, allowing the wine to pair well with many rich dishes. This wine is ‘Not your average Pinot Grigio’.

The Russolo family was already making wine around the year 800. We should be very happy about that. Because generations of the Russolo family have worked in winemaking, a unique wine has emerged with the Doi Raps. In 2000, the winery moved to San Quirino, to the most beautiful cru region: Ronco Calaj.

The vineyard consists mainly of stones and the Russolo vineyards are mainly located in the west of Friuli, near the Dolomites. The climate is cool in winter and warm in summer, and the air is exceptionally pure due to the nearby Dolomites. In short: a fabulous white wine with unparalleled freshness and aroma. This wine can age excellently.
