Epic wine, let's start by describing it like this!

One of the great Collio whites to be tasted at least once in a lifetime, it is not easy to find given the limited print run, but every effort is amply repaid with a taste that will remain etched in the memory for a long time.

Made from Chardonnay and Sauvignon grapes, this is a structured and powerful wine where the scents range from jammy fruit to candied citrus. From honey thousand flowers to hints of dried fruit. Firm, voluminous mouthfeel, where tannin and a distinct saline trail create a long, aromatic finish.

From the producer

La Castellada

Giuseppe Bensa and the origin of La Castellada

It was 1954 when Giuseppe Bensa returned to Oslavia after his period of emigration to Switzerland. With the money he earned he bought a vineyard and a small house that he turned into a tavern. In time, the proceeds from the business allowed him to buy more vineyards, so that by the end of the 1970s the estate covered 10 hectares of land.

Giorgio and Nicolò, Giuseppe's sons began at that time to follow the cellar and farm work, until they chose in 1985 to start bottling their own wine, sold before then only in bulk. Thus the farm "La Castellada" was born, where the traditional Collio Friulano wine has always been produced. Wines of great finesse and intensity, able to mature over time, children of a unique terroir.
