Az. Ag. Franco Terpin Jakot 2006 - San Floriano del Collio, near the town of Gorizia; IGT Delle Venezie
label
This is made from Friulano (though the name Jakot is of course the mirror of the original name, Tokaj). The vines of 30-55 yo are grown on a SW facing hill at 80-180 m altitude. It spends one year in wood (neutral I guess?), one year in steel and half a year in bottle before release. This is unfiltered and uses only a tiny bit of sulfur at bottling.
Orange colour. It smells wonderfully of some sort of fresh fruit: sweet, tangy and refreshing at the same time. Full bodied, but lively. It isn't very high in acidity (is Friulano ever?), but it somehow is still very refreshing. Joyful, tangy, fruit-forward wine. I love it.
