Cantina 837 Piwi Prinzipi 2024

Cantina 837 Piwi Prinzipi 2024 is a vibrant Italian white wine crafted from the resilient Solaris grape, grown in the cool northeastern reaches of Friuli-Venezia Giulia. The name ‘Piwi Prinzipi’ hints at a new beginning and a new way of thinking about wine – one that embraces sustainability without sacrificing character or quality. This is a forward-looking white that combines bright, expressive fruit with a clean, modern style, ideal for curious wine lovers.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, Piwi Prinzipi 2024 shows a pale straw to light lemon colour with greenish highlights, signaling freshness and youth. The nose opens with lively aromas of citrus and orchard fruits – think lemon zest, green apple and yellow plum – layered with subtle floral tones, fresh herbs and a gentle, saline minerality that reflects its northern Italian origins. On the palate, the wine is crisp and medium-bodied, with Solaris’ naturally high acidity giving a mouthwatering, linear structure. Flavours of ripe lime, crunchy pear and white peach are joined by hints of gooseberry and a light, almost alpine freshness. The finish is clean and persistent, marked by a delicate herbal note and a touch of spice. Enjoyed for its youthful energy, this 2024 vintage is best consumed within 2–4 years to capture its pure, primary fruit and vibrant freshness.

Production
Cantina 837 Piwi Prinzipi is born from vineyards in Friuli-Venezia Giulia, a region known for its cool Alpine breezes, proximity to the Adriatic Sea and mineral-rich soils that give white wines clarity and precision. Solaris, a PIWI (fungus-resistant) variety, allows for more sustainable viticulture with reduced need for treatments, aligning with a gentler approach to the land. Grapes are typically harvested by hand at optimal ripeness to preserve acidity and aromatic intensity, then gently pressed. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled tanks to lock in freshness and varietal character, followed by maturation on fine lees for a short period to add texture and complexity while keeping the profile bright and pure.

Food & Serving
Piwi Prinzipi 2024 is a natural match for light, fresh dishes – think seafood crudo, grilled prawns, steamed mussels, sushi, or simply prepared white fish with herbs and lemon. It also pairs beautifully with vegetable-based cuisine, such as asparagus risotto, spring salads with goat cheese, and mild soft cheeses or fresh goat’s cheese. Serve well-chilled at around 8–10 °C to highlight its crisp acidity and aromatics. Decanting is not necessary; simply open the bottle a few minutes before serving to let the aromas unfold in the glass.

Producer
Cantina 837 is a contemporary producer that reflects the innovative side of Friuli-Venezia Giulia, focusing on expressive, terroir-driven wines crafted with a strong respect for the environment. By working with PIWI varieties like Solaris, the estate aligns itself with the growing movement toward more sustainable viticulture in northern Italy, reducing treatments in the vineyard while still achieving clean, precise wines. Although a relatively young name compared with some of the region’s historic estates, Cantina 837 embodies a new generation of Friulian winemaking – one that balances tradition with experimentation and a clear eye on the future.
