Collio Bianco 'Stare Brajde' Muzic 2023

The “Stare Brajde” Collio Bianco is a wine that encapsulates the beauty of the aromatic spectrum of three white grape varieties that, in this part of Friuli, are strongly characteristic: Malvasia, Ribolla, and Friulano. A triptych that contributes to giving a particular charm to the aromas that are perceived in this label, where the spectrum of aromas evolves minute by minute. Thanks also to the aging in wood, which certainly enhances the profile of this white, which immediately shows its personality on the palate.

This Collio Bianco wine “Stare Brajde” is born from the happy union of three white grape varieties that are strongly representative of the Collio terroir, namely Malvasia Istriana, Ribolla Gialla, and Friulano. Three grapes that are cultivated using the guyot and double inverted system, within hilly vineyards located near San Floriano del Collio. We are within a marl terroir, rich in potassium. The grapes, once harvested, are gently pressed, and then static decantation of the must follows. The fermentation alcoholic takes place in oak tonneaux, for 8-10 days. Always in tonneaux it remains for at least 8 months on the fine lees, and then continues to mature after bottling, directly in glass for at least 12 months.

This “Stare Brajde” is a Collio Bianco DOC that, in the glass, presents itself with a bright straw yellow color, with evident reflections tending towards golden. The aromas that develop on the nose are rich and concentrated, and from more fruity aromas they shift towards mineral, also presenting more woody and toasted nuances, deriving from the aging period. On the palate, it is well-structured, delicate, charming, with a savory mineral sip of excellent quality, endowed with a long persistence. A label with which the Muzic winery showcases its productive skill in creating a harmonious and balanced blend.
