J.K.T 2017 - Franco Terpin

J.K.T - Franco Terpin

J.K.T by Terpin is a macerated white wine made from 100% Friulano grapes. The grapes come from vineyards over 60 years of age that rest on Ponka, a typical local soil consisting of marl and marine sediment. In the cellar, fermentation is spontaneous with only indigenous yeasts and refines in oak barrels. Not filtered before bottling. Golden yellow color. Very complex nose with aromas of dried fruit, honeyed notes and light mineral notes. On the palate it is warm, enveloping, full-bodied and has a good freshness.

Service

We recommend tasting it at a temperature of 12/14 ° in tulip glasses. Wine to drink immediately but if left in the cellar a few years can give great emotions.

Pairing

Great to combine with raw fish dishes, to try with a pasta with baby octopus.
