2019 | Borgo Conventi | Luna di Ponca

Straw yellow colour. A surprising freshness mingles with the intense aromas that are typical of the Collio area. The bouquet opens with notes of lemon zest, lime wood, yellow roses and jasmine, which then elegantly give way to pleasant, engaging scents of freshly baked bread, ripe apples and butter biscuits. Its exceptional structure is immediately revealed in the mouth.

Producer Information

The name Borgo Conventi, which translates to "hamlet convent", was inspired by a legend and a plot of land in the ancient hamlet of Farra d'Isonzo, located in Italy's Friuli-Venezia Giulia region. In the 17th Century, a noble landowner, Count Strassoldo, donated the land to a friar named Basilio Pica, on which the province's first monastery was built. Established in 1975, Borgo Conventi took its name from this legendary land in Farra d'Isonzo and was founded on the promise to produce elegant wines which respect the land and the province's history. Today, Giancarlo Polegato and his family remain committed to that promise. Borgo Conventi owns 20 hectares of prime vineyards in the Collio DOC, which covers the hills of Gorizia in the prestigious wine growing region of Friulia-Venezia Giulia. Collio borders Italy's Veneto region and the neighboring countries of Slovenia and Austria. Geographically, Collio is influenced by the Alps to the north, the Adriatic Sea to the south and the Friulian Plain in between, and the DOC is known for producing complex and aromatic white wines which exhibit Slavic, Germanic and Italian traits. The reigning white-wine grape varieties include the indigenous Friulano as well as the international varieties of Pinot Grigio and Sauvignon. Borgo Conventi's estate vineyards range in age from 15 to 45 years old and the soil is composed of layers of marl and sandstone which impart a unique minerality to the wines.
