The Friulano wine "Borgo Tesis" is produced at the Grave estate in Friuli. The winery was founded in the late 1960s with the purchase of the first vineyards in Collio, and has since grown progressively to the current 300 hectares, divided into various areas of the region. In the Grave area, labels of great drinkability are produced, which express the varietal profile of the grapes in a straightforward and direct manner. The soils, composed of alluvial debris from the bed of the Tagliamento River, are characterized by the presence of river pebbles that make the soils draining and very suitable for vine cultivation. It is an area where the Friulano grape gives very interesting, fresh versions that are pleasant to drink. Precisely to cater to this vocation of the territory, the vinifications take place in steel, in order to create lean wines with a pronounced varietal character.

The Friulano "Borgo Tesis" Fantinel is a pleasant wine, appreciated for its extraordinary ability to accompany meals. It can be paired with seafood cuisine, first courses with vegetables, and it is extraordinary to taste with San Daniele raw ham.

The sip is harmonious, with a juicy and soft fruit, that accompanies towards a finish of great balance, with a return of delicately almondy sensations. It is a great wine of the territory, reinterpreted in the sign of elegance and expressive finesse.
