i Clivi Friulano San Pietro 2023

Vibrant and fresh, with a bouquet of white flowers, green apples, and a hint of almond. On the palate, it is crisp and mineral-driven, showcasing the terroir of the San Pietro vineyard.

i Clivi is a boutique winery located in the renowned Friuli region of Italy, led by Mario Zanusso. Alongside his father, Ferdinando, Mario set out to craft wines that authentically represent the region’s unique terroir. The winery’s 12 hectares of vineyards, with vines aged between 60 to 80 years, are situated in two prime areas: Collio and Colli Orientali del Friuli. These vineyards are blessed with a microclimate influenced by the Adriatic Sea and the Julian Alps, creating an ideal environment for native grape varieties.

i Clivi’s winemaking philosophy is focused on purity and minimal intervention, allowing the natural characteristics of the grapes to shine. The vineyards are farmed organically, and the winemaking process avoids chemical additives, relying instead on natural fermentation and aging. The result is a collection of wines that beautifully capture the essence of Friuli.
