Mont 2023 - Nikolas Juretic

"Mont" - Nikolas Juretic

Nikolas Juretic's "Mont" is a unique and unconventional wine, which stands out for its originality and distinctive character. Obtained from white grapes from a vineyard over 60 years old, located 190 meters above sea level, this wine is born in a rich and complex terroir, characterized by mixed soils of foraminifera, dolomitic rocks, volcanic and coral, mixed with the traditional ponca. The vinification involves the pressing of the whole bunch, followed by a short maceration of 2 days on the skins, to extract color and substance. Fermentation and maturation take place in cement containers, which preserve the character and freshness of the wine intact. The result is a material and deep wine, rich in flavor and a lively freshness. It is a versatile wine, which lends itself both to important gastronomic pairings and as a meditation, thanks to its complexity and its unconventional character.

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.
