Borgo del Tiglio Description
“Nicola Manferrari is one of Friuli’s original trailblazers. Along with Mario Schiopetto, Josko Gravner and Silvio Jermann, Manferrari was just one of a handful of producers in the 1980s who had the vision and courage to follow his convictions. Winemakers like Enzo Pontoni and Edi Kante, each in their own way, followed that same spirit. Still, Borgo del Tiglio remains vastly overlooked considering the quality of what goes into the bottle. So much of what is made in Friuli today is essentially commercial, large-production wine with little personality. In that context, Borgo del Tiglio is a towering presence of true excellence and a shining beacon of what is possible in one of Italy’s greatest but often most underachieving appellations.”

The parcels that go into the Friulano come from vineyards planted in the grey-brown marl soils of Brazzano and Ruttars. The parcels are on average sixty years old and have a genetic diversity of Friulano that is uncommon in the area. This is a result of a careful cultivation of a local plant material now virtually extinct.
