Zorzettig Myo Friuli Colli Orientali Malvasia 2024

Zorzettig Myo Friuli Colli Orientali Malvasia is a refined, aromatic white wine that captures the character of Friuli’s Colli Orientali with remarkable precision. Made from Malvasia Bianca grown on the region’s distinctive ponca soils, it offers a beautiful balance of perfume, texture, and mineral depth. It also reflects the long-standing Friulian tradition of crafting expressive whites with both elegance and personality.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a clear straw-yellow color that immediately suggests freshness and brightness. The nose opens with apricot, thyme, and medicinal herbs, lifted by subtle saline and mineral notes that give the wine extra detail and complexity. On the palate, it is full-bodied yet graceful, with a round, enveloping texture and a distinct mineral backbone. The finish is long and persistent, with a savory edge that keeps the wine lively. While enjoyable now for its vibrant aromatic profile, it has the structure and balance to develop further nuance over the next few years.

Production
The grapes come from vineyards in Ipplis di Premariacco, at around 210 meters above sea level, where the ponca soil of Eocene marl and sandstone provides excellent mineral tension and natural finesse. The vineyards are cultivated with careful, sustainable practices that support biodiversity and encourage healthy fruit expression. Harvesting is done by hand, followed by 12 hours of cold maceration; fermentation takes place in stainless steel to preserve purity, then the wine ages on fine lees for six months with weekly bâtonnage before additional maturation in tank and partly in oak, including reserve wine from previous vintages, and a final six-month refinement.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with seafood, shellfish, grilled fish, risotto with herbs, light poultry dishes, and vegetable-based Mediterranean cuisine. It also works well with aged cheeses or dishes that echo its herbal and savory notes. Serve chilled at around 10–12°C; decanting is generally not necessary, though a short aeration can help open up its aromatic complexity.

Producer
Myo is part of the Zorzettig estate, a respected Friulian producer known for wines that express both the character of the Colli Orientali and the precision of modern craftsmanship. The estate has earned a strong reputation for its commitment to sustainability, biodiversity, and the careful interpretation of local grape varieties. Over time, Zorzettig has become one of the names most closely associated with high-quality white wines from Friuli-Venezia Giulia.
