Tempesta - Nikolas Juretic

Tempesta - Nikolas Juretic

Tempesta by Nikolas Juretic is truly a fascinating wine that stands out for its balance between elegance and complexity. The choice to use a blend of white grapes with a short maceration on the skins helps to give the wine an interesting texture and deeper aromas. Aging in used oak barrels adds further nuances to the flavor profile, making every sip a satisfying experience. It is definitely a wine to try for those who love exploring the different expressions of white vines. Recommended to accompany fish-based dishes or vegetarian dishes, but it can also be enjoyed alone to fully appreciate its qualities.

Service

We taste it at a temperature of 12/14° in tulip glasses. Wine to be drunk immediately but does not mind being aged. 

Pairings

Wine that goes well with important dishes of Italian cuisine, to try with fish soups.

Cellar:  Nikolas Juretic

A recent company in an ancient territory. Ancestral viticultural practices to look to the future. The story of Nikolas Juretic juggles between past and future, in a rigorous, innovative, measured, passionate approach. Nikolas, after having enriched his wealth of experience and knowledge of the world of oenology by traveling the world including the one with the famous Simonit & Sirch-Vine Master Pruners, decides to start his own project. The territory is the hilly one of eastern Friuli, specifically in Cormons, right in the lands where he was born and raised. 1.5 hectares of vineyards that extend on the eastern slope of Monte Quarin, and are rooted in the classic land of Friuli, called Ponca. Among the rows of native vines such as Malvasia, Tocai and Ribolla Gialla. In the cellar, Nikolas takes great care of every detail, crushing done with his feet, spontaneous fermentation, maceration on the skins and aging in wooden barrels, all without adding sulphites. The end result is surprisingly fine and elegant wines, which tell true and beautiful stories, in the name of the highest oenology.
