Why we love it
This Riesling passito is a wine with a delicate, still complex, fruity nose with vanilla hints. In the mouth, it is velvety, smooth, fruity with a never ending finish.
Only made in the very best vintages and only a few hundred bottles on each vintage from a single and old Riesling vineyard located in the Colli Orientali area of Friuli, this is a great dessert wine or meditation wine, to be drunk on its own at the end of the meal or to pair cream based desserts and soft cheeses.
The artisan who made it
Roberto Scubla is an extraordinary individual whose deep passion for winemaking has shaped his remarkable journey. With an unwavering dedication to his craft, he made a bold and life-changing decision to leave behind the security of a stable banking career in pursuit of his dream — to cultivate vineyards and produce exceptional wines. This leap of faith into the world of viticulture was filled with uncertainty, yet through hard work, perseverance, and an unrelenting commitment to quality, he has achieved outstanding success.
His winery and vineyards are situated in the breathtaking Colli Orientali region of Friuli, nestled in the northeastern part of Italy, close to the Slovenian border. This unique terroir provides the perfect conditions for cultivating both native and international grape varieties. Roberto takes great pride in growing indigenous grapes such as Friulano and Verduzzo, which have long been part of the region’s rich winemaking tradition. At the same time, he has expertly embraced other varietals that have found an ideal home in Friuli, including Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Sauvignon Blanc.
Each bottle of wine that Roberto produces reflects his dedication to excellence, showcasing a perfect balance of character, depth, and elegance. His wines are a testament to his expertise, the exceptional terroir of the region, and his passion for creating something truly special. Through his commitment and vision, Roberto Scubla has not only built a successful winery but also established himself as a respected and admired figure in the world of fine wines.
