Colli Orientali del Friuli Cabernet Franc DOC 2021 (750 ml.) La Tunella
The Cabernet Franc from La Tunella expresses the terroir of the Eastern Hills of Friuli. A red wine with personality and a good body, it is aged in French oak barrels for 4 to 6 months. The bouquet has a rather wide range of aromas, from berries, especially blackberry and blackcurrant, to vegetal and herbaceous notes. There is also a hint of toasting derived from the wood aging. On the palate, the fruity notes that were released on the nose are present, along with a pleasant sensation. It pairs well with red meats and aged cheeses.

La Tunella
In the lush heart of Friuli-Venezia Giulia, among the hills of the Colli Orientali del Friuli, stands La Tunella, a winery that has masterfully blended modernity and tradition. Here, the land tells ancient stories of native grape varieties and a passion for viticulture that is passed down from generation to generation.
La Tunella stands out for a production approach that, while looking to the future with cutting-edge technologies, never forgets the deep roots that sink into the Friulian territory. The grapes cultivated, such as Friulano, Sauvignon, and Refosco, are carefully selected to create wines that precisely and deeply express the unique characteristics of this land.
Among the main labels, the Friulano and Biancosesto stand out, two wines that embody the essence of the winery. The Friulano presents itself with a vibrant freshness and an aromatic complexity that captivates, while the Biancosesto, a skillful blend of white varieties, enchants with its elegance and enveloping structure. These wines, with their notes of ripe fruit, white flowers, and aromatic herbs, invite you to discover the best of Friulian winemaking.
La Tunella is a reality that embodies the perfect synthesis of tradition and innovation, a place where every bottle is a journey into the heart of Friuli. Let yourself be seduced by their labels on Vino45: an unmissable opportunity to explore Friulian whites with a touch of elegance and concentration.

THE WINE
The Cabernet Franc from La Tunella expresses the terroir of the Colli Orientali del Friuli. A red wine with personality and a good body, it is aged in French oak barrels for 4 to 6 months. It has a rather wide bouquet of aromas, ranging from berries, especially blackberry and blackcurrant, to vegetal and herbaceous notes. There is also a hint of toasting from the wood aging. On the palate, the fruity notes that were released on the nose are found again, along with a pleasant sensation. It pairs well with red meats and aged cheeses.
THE COMPANY
Between the past and the future, perfectly integrated into contemporary times. This is how one could define one of the most representative wineries of the entire Friuli-Venezia Giulia region, particularly of its Colli Orientali. A story in continuous evolution, which began over fifty years ago with a small amount of bulk wine, and continues today with the construction of a new winery, a functional place for unique production with consistent quality.
From Friulano to Ribolla Gialla, from Malvasia to Schioppettino, to Pignolo and Picolit, passing through Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay, “Biancosesto,” and Sauvignon, there is no wine from “La Tunella” that is not worth tasting.
And so we trace back to the origins, when first grandfather Min and then father Livio Zorzettig started the agricultural company now run by brothers Massimo and Marco Zorzettig, the latter assisted by their mother Gabriella.
Currently, there are about seventy hectares of vineyards, of which 30% are planted with red grape varieties, while the remaining 70% is planted with white varieties. On soils composed of sandstones and marls, in a unique microclimate particularly favorable to viticulture, protected to the north by the Julian Prealps, which shield against the coldest winds, and warmed by southern breezes from the Adriatic Sea, vines are cultivated that produce exceptional fruits, rich in every nuance. Bunches that, after being harvested only at the right maturation, are transformed in the modern winery distributed over two levels and perfectly functional for all production processes: the basement houses the fermentation rooms, the drying rooms, the barrel cellar, and the aging rooms, while the ground floor hosts the warehouse and the bottling plant.
The wines labeled “La Tunella”, in which history, memory, and traditions coexist with new and creative energies, give life to a solid and intriguing range, capable of ranging from classic whites and reds to blends, passitos, and single varietals: bottles that are the result of careful enhancement of the territory and all its best characteristics.
