Its name pays tribute to the “claps”—the characteristic stones of Sequals that reflect daytime heat and contribute to the region’s pronounced day-to-night temperature variation. Fresh, mineral and gently structured, it offers an authentic expression of Friuli-Venezia Giulia and is suitable for vegan drinkers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe wine shows a clear yellow colour with subtle greenish highlights. Its aromatic profile combines ripe peach, yellow apple and white flowers with delicate vegetal nuances. On the palate, it is fresh and mineral, with balanced structure and a rounded texture from lees ageing and bâtonnage. The finish is characteristically marked by a pleasant note of bitter almond.\n\nThis is a wine best enjoyed for its youthful freshness and expressive varietal character. Its lively acidity and mineral profile should be at their most appealing in the first few years after release, although careful short-term cellaring may allow its texture to develop further.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe grapes are sourced from vineyards around Sequals in Friuli, where stony “claps” soils and Alpine-influenced conditions promote slow, balanced ripening and strong varietal definition. After careful harvesting, the grapes undergo gentle pressing to obtain free-run must, followed by static settling. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks to preserve the wine’s primary aromas. It then rests on its lees for four months in steel, with bâtonnage adding texture and roundness. The finished wine is vegan and crafted to highlight the purity of the Friulano grape and its stony origins.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eServe chilled at approximately 8–10°C. Friulano Pietris pairs naturally with San Daniele ham, seafood, delicate white meats and fresh cheeses, while its mineral freshness works particularly well with risotto flavoured with aromatic herbs. Decanting is not necessary; simply allow the bottle a few minutes in the glass to let its floral and fruit aromas open.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bosco del Merlo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54987335205201,"sku":"XW-62625","price":15.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bottlehero.com\/products\/bosco-del-merlo-friulano-pietris-2025","provider":"Bottle Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
