Colli Orientali del Friuli DOC Malvasia 'Valmasia' 2022 (750 ml.) La Tunella
The Malvasia 'Valmasia', line I Classici, from La Tunella is one of the great native white grape varieties from Friuli. The must, clear and intact, is supplemented with a fermentation starter previously prepared with the best selected grapes of the same variety. It is then subjected to a slow fermentation in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperature. A silky and enveloping white that evokes fresh aromatic herbs with a slight spicy touch, in an elegant and refreshing ensemble finished with savory minerality. Fresh and clean with aromas ranging from floral to fruity with a subtle and delicate marine sensation.

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.

THE WINE
The Malvasia 'Valmasia', line I Classici, of La Tunella is one of the great native white grape varieties from Friuli. The must, clear and intact, is added to a fermentation starter previously prepared with the best selected grapes from the same variety. It is then subjected to a slow fermentation in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. A silky and enveloping white that recalls fresh aromatic herbs with a slight spicy touch, in an elegant and refreshing ensemble finished with savory minerality. Fresh and clean with aromas that range from floral to fruity with a subtle and delicate marine sensation.
THE COMPANY
Between past and future, perfectly integrated into contemporary life. 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 a unique production in terms of quality consistency.
From Friulano to Ribolla Gialla, from Malvasia to Schioppettino, up 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 go 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, a shield against the coldest winds, and warmed by southern breezes coming from the Adriatic Sea, vines are cultivated that produce exceptional fruits, rich in every subtle nuance. Bunches that, after being harvested only at the right ripeness, are transformed in the modern winery spread 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.
Wines, those labeled “La Tunella”, in which history, memory, and traditions coexist with new and creative energies, giving life to a solid and intriguing range, capable of spanning from classic whites and reds to blends, sweet wines, and single-varietals: bottles resulting from careful enhancement of the territory and all its best characteristics.
