Tasting profile
Structure: full-bodied, high acidity, dry
Jermann's Vintage Tunina, first bottled in 1975, is the wine that proved a Friulian white blend could rival Burgundy for ambition. Sauvignon and Malvasia's aromatic lift meets the structure of Chardonnay and Ribolla Gialla, with a touch of Picolit adding depth — full-bodied, vividly acidic, and layered with orchard fruit, honeyed nuts and white blossom. A genuine benchmark, and one of Friuli's most age-worthy whites.
