Its name comes from the “broili”, the small vegetable gardens grown next to the old Friulian homes.
This is a piece of land that was often planted with grapevines in order to provide wine for the family’s consumption. Made from Friulano (50%), Chardonnay (30%) and Sauvignon (20%) grapes. Both the Friulano and Chardonnay grapes are partially dried in the drying lofts by means of ventilated air, with a humidity level close to zero and at a temperature of 6-8 ° C to concentrate the juices. The Sauvignon grapes, are harvested a few days early and all three varietals are then blended together. This results is a classic white wine vinification with a short maceration. It is fined in stainless steel vats.
This wine pairs well with the dishes of the haute cuisine, oven-roasted fish or velvety sauces, risottos with truffles, medium aged cheeses, shrimp and “toc in braide” (polenta made with milk and melted cheese sauce covering) topped with foie gras.
