About the Producer:
The region of Friuli
boasts an increasing number of prominent wineries, but Silvio Jermann
remains the shining star. He owns forty acres of estate vineyards
that surround the family home in Farra d'Isonzo, where he created
a new breed of big, fruity, ageworthy Friulian wines (outside the
regulations set by the DOC). 'Vintage Tunina' is his most acclaimed
wine and 'Capo Martino' and 'Dreams' have also distinguished themselves
as a few of Italy's greatest and best-known white wines.
In the sixties, avant garde
producers like Schiopetto and Felluga created a style of crisp,
clean wines with the introduction of stainless steel tanks and
the elimination of oxidation in the winemaking process. This modern
style eventually gave birth to the Super White movement with the
release of Silvio Jermann’s blended Vintage Tunina. These
complex blends from producers like Vie
di Romans, La Castellada,
Lis Neris, Villa Russiz, and Bastianich continue to capture international
attention with their exotically aromatic or full-bodied charm.
The 'Vintage Tunina' is probably the most successful wine in Friulian
history, and is often referred to as the Tignanello of white Italian
wines. While his legendary neighbors, Schiopetto and Puiatti, are
responsible for getting the Super White movement started, Jermann
is the one that kicked the door open.
