2017 Fantinel "Venko" Collio Rosso Sant'Helena
The 2017 Fantinel "Venko" Collio Rosso Sant'Helena is a deep ruby red wine with garnet hues, showcasing aromas of bramble leaf and wild berries. This splendid cuvée is made from selected grapes that are partially dried and aged in oak barrels, resulting in a powerful and velvety palate with a balanced tannic structure. It reflects the passion and dedication of Mario Fantinel, the founder's father. The wine benefits from a rare microclimate and meticulous grape selection, highlighting the unique characteristics of Friulian indigenous varieties. Produced in the picturesque Tenuta Sant'Helena vineyards near Slovenia, the mild climate and fertile Eocene sandstone marls create an ideal environment for grape growing. This terroir, known as "Ponca," supports distinctive production methods that enhance the wine's aromatic complexity, robust body, and potential for aging.
