Friuli Isonzo Bianco DOC 'Confini' 2019 (750 ml.) Lis Neris
'Confini' by Lis Neris is a cuvée of Gewurztraminer, Pinot Grigio, and Riesling, one of the most intense and bold white wines from the winery. It is produced from organic cultivation and slow maturation on vines over 30 years old, hand-harvested with careful selection of the grapes, and fermented in 500-liter French oak barrels on fine lees for 11 months, followed by another 25/27 months of maturation in stainless steel after blending and in the bottle. The Pinot Grigio forms the backbone of this wine, providing structure, breadth, softness, and warmth, while the Gewürztraminer is crucial for the aromatic quality of the olfactory sensations. The Riesling is key to achieving the right acidic balance and enhancing the tasting complexity. It showcases exuberant aromaticity, with notes of tropical fruit, citrus in preserves, and aromatic herbs, good structure, and vibrant freshness.

THE COMPANY
When the Isonzo River leaves the narrow gorges that confine it during its journey through Slovenia, here comes Gorizia, one of the most contested border cities in Europe. A charming landscape appears, dotted with small villages that have grown around a bell tower. The vineyards characterize the scenery and mark the rhythm of the days with their phases.
In this context, since 1879, four generations of my family have contributed with work and passion to the construction and growth of one of the most representative production realities of Eastern Friuli.
THE TERRITORY AND THE VINEYARDS
In the beginning, there was the sea that, during the Tertiary period, covered a large part of the region and which, as it receded, brought to light the sedimentary rocks. Thus, the rocky substrate was formed.
The Isonzo Valley was carved out by the glaciations of the Quaternary period, and the melting waters of the glaciers shaped its current profile. In the subsequent periods, thanks to the disintegrating action of atmospheric agents, a reddish clayey surface layer rich in iron oxides and other minerals was formed. The underlying gravel mass facilitates the distribution of water and oxygen, making the subsoil very hospitable for the development and activity of roots.
Thus, the soils of the Isonzo valley were formed.
Here the vineyards grow of Lis NerisMore than 70 hectares of vineyards are planted between the Slovenian border to the north and the right bank of the Isonzo River to the south. The surface pebbles, locally called claps, absorb heat during the day and release it at night, which promotes the ripening of the grapes.
This is how powerful wines are born.
Finally, there is the Bora, dominant winds coming from the northeast that can create temperature variations that slow down ripening, enhancing the aromatic concentration of the grapes and balancing the acids.
This is how elegant wines are born.
SUSTAINABILITY
The relationship between man and the land, developed over time, has led to the definition of terroir. A term that identifies the vineyard site with its own morphological, climatic, social, cultural, and human identities. Knowledge and respect for the environment allow us to increasingly infuse our wines with the character of the terroir.
A modern company cannot do without technology, but in our vineyards, many operations are carried out in full respect of tradition and are foreign to any commercial logic. For the sake of quality, operations such as pruning, selection of shoots, leaf thinning, bunch thinning, and harvesting are done manually. We have also chosen to abandon chemical herbicides, reduce phytosanitary treatments, and keep the land covered in grass. Experience has taught us that the biological health of the soil allows the vines to autonomously develop defenses against pathogens, reacting spontaneously to adversities. By doing this, the plants are strong enough to ripen the fruits but not to produce a large leaf mass. Lis Neris has always maintained a close relationship with the vineyard and the surrounding territory. Living in a natural environment is a condition we do not want to give up.
