Tasting Notes
The liquid crunchiness. The secret of her beauty doesn’t instantly bloom by the nose, where she hides herself, but it’s in the mouth where she exudes. The thick skin rich of tannins confers to the wine a unique taste: dried fruits, smooth tannins and a long, persistent, mineral ending. After a sip we get the perception of crunching the wine. - Winery Note
Damijan is a favourite producer of orange/amber wines for a long time. These unique expressions of their Friuli terroir (specifically Gorizia) coupled with their grape varieties - Ribolla Gialla, Malvasia and Friulano - and production method, make for some of the most impressive, thought-provoking and intimate experiences in the wine world.
The Damijan vineyards are planted on marl and sandstone giving the vines both water-holding capacity and mineral availability to create their complex wines.
In the cellar, these grapes are macerated on skins for months before being pressed and matured in large wooden vats for 3 years, followed by another year in bottle before release. Time and terroir is what gives these wines their balance between primary, secondary and tertiary characteristics.
The Damijan wines are exquisite and should be revered for their approach to farming, making and quality.
