Description of the product
Steeped in history, Rocca Bernarda has long been a point of reference in Friulan enology. One of the first wine estates dating back to 1559 when agronomical practices were confined only to the finest territories. Considered one of the most exemplary estates in Friuli, “Rocca Bernarda”, from which it takes its name,has a unique microclimate with spectacular terraced vineyards protected by the Julian Alps. The soil, “ponca”, formed more than 40 million years ago is a mixture of sand stone and marl and yields complex wines, reflecting the region’s character in its unmistakable minerality. Rocca Bernarda has made significant contributions to the valorization of the native grape. In particular, Picolit (considered Italy’s Sauternes), owes its survival to Rocca Bernarda. (Total property: 260 ha Vineyards: 50 ha).
The Picolit grapes are harvested manually in the
closing days of October. They are placed on racks for about one month in
well-ventilated rooms until the sugar concentration has reached the desired
level. At this stage, the grapes are selected by hand several times and any
mouldy or damaged berries are eliminated.
After pressing, the must ferments slowly in wooden barrels. Fermentation stops
spontaneously with the arrival of the first winter cold, leaving a relatively
high level of residual sugar (more than 100 g/l). A subsequent period of lees
contact and further aging in the bottle also contribute to Picolit’s great
longevity.
