Description
Collio’s hilly terrain is well known for producing excellent white wines. This single-vineyard Collio Bianco is a blend of three well-established white grape varieties of the area: Friulano, Pinot Bianco, and Ribolla Gialla. The name Molamatta comes from an old watermill (mola) that sits near one of the vineyards. The water flow was so strong that it kept moving the millstone even when the mill was not working, and local farmers called it crazy (matta).
Molamatta is composed of 40% Pinot Bianco, 40% Tocai Friulano, and 20% Ribolla Gialla. The grapes are gently pressed, and the amount of pressure is individually selected for each variety based on the degree of ripeness. The Pinot Bianco juice ferments and matures in small oak barrels, while the remaining grape varieties are vinified in stainless steel vats. The wine ages on the lees for 6 months and several months in the bottle.
