THE WINE
'Arcione' by La Tunella is a blend of two native Friulian grape varieties, Pignolo and Schioppettino, creating a wine with depth, structure, and a remarkable breadth of aromas. It is rooted in the Friulian lands bordering Austria and Slovenia, in the far East. The winery has utilized all its expertise to offer enthusiasts a wine of excellent quality. A short period of drying and fermentation with skin maceration, followed by aging in French oak tonneaux. The refinement lasts for 4 years in the same barrels, before being blended and bottled. Power, intensity, hints of fruit and spices, a penetrating balsamic feel, and a smoky finish. Deep tannins but an unexpected softness.
THE COMPANY
Between past and future, perfectly integrated into contemporary times. This is how one could define one of the most representative wineries in all of Friuli-Venezia Giulia, particularly in its Eastern Hills. 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 the 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 isn't worth tasting.
And so we return to the origins, when first grandpa Min and then dad 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 grape varieties. In soils composed of sandstones and marls, in a unique microclimate particularly favorable to viticulture, protected to the north by the Julian Prealps, which act as a shield against the coldest winds, and warmed by southern breezes from the Adriatic Sea, are cultivated plants that produce exceptional fruits, rich in every subtle nuance. Grapes that, after being harvested only at the right maturity, 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 line.
Wines labeled “La Tunella”, in which history, memory, and traditions coexist with new and creative energies, to give life to a solid and intriguing range, capable of spanning from classic whites and reds to blends, passito wines, and single-variety wines: bottles resulting from a careful enhancement of the territory and all its best characteristics.
