PG Rosa 2023 Ferlat

PG Rosa Ferlat: the fleshy delicacy of Pinot Grigio in a rosé dress

PG Rosa by Ferlat is a surprising rosé interpretation of Pinot Grigio, crafted with artisanal care and modern sensitivity. This Friulian rosé blends freshness and structure with a bold gastronomic character. Its natural coppery hue comes from skin contact, enhancing varietal complexity and offering a sincere, straightforward wine with refined depth. It’s a compelling alternative to conventional rosés, made for curious palates.

Vineyard philosophy and cellar approach

The grapes come from sustainably farmed vineyards, where all work is manual and minimal intervention is key. In the field, the focus is on vine balance and soil vitality to ensure aromatic, healthy fruit. In the cellar, Ferlat takes a gentle approach: a short maceration on the skins to extract color and texture, spontaneous fermentation in steel, and aging on fine lees to add depth and aromatic harmony. No fining or forced treatments.

Sensory analysis

The color is a bright, coppery pink with soft orange reflections reminiscent of a sunset. On the nose, pomegranate, yellow peach, dog rose and a hint of herbal notes create a delicate yet well-defined aromatic profile. The palate is fresh and saline, with subtle structure and persistent length, ending dry and fruity, perfectly reflecting the Friulian terroir.

Recommended pairings

Excellent with seafood starters, raw fish, savory vegetable pies, fusion dishes or whole grain salads. Also ideal with mild charcuterie, sushi or creative vegetarian cuisine. A true food-friendly rosé, best enjoyed slightly chilled.

Ferlat – Wines of Borderlands and Identity, in Cormons

In the beating heart of the Friulian Collio, in Cormons, nestled among the final eastern folds of Friuli Venezia Giulia near the Slovenian border, Ferlat stands as one of the most authentic and quietly revolutionary voices of the region. Today, Federico Ferlat and his family farm 6 hectares of vines organically, with an artisanal, essential, and deeply site-driven approach.

A Friulian identity, never clichéd

Ferlat’s wines are born from a clear philosophy: no trend-chasing, only listening to the vineyard and the vintage. The Collio can be bright and saline, but also deep and textural. Each wine aims to reveal the true nature of the grape (Friulano, Malvasia Istriana, Merlot, Refosco, Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon) through spontaneous fermentations, minimal intervention maceration, and ageing in steel or large wooden casks, depending on the character of the fruit.

A frontier land with a farmer’s soul

Ferlat is a borderland winery, shaped by diverse cultures, languages, and rural traditions. This plural identity lives in the wines, which are free yet rigorous, vibrant yet balanced. Federico’s hand is precise but never intrusive, and a deep rural sensibility pervades the work: there is obsessive care for grape health, vineyard biodiversity, and the natural flow of winemaking.

A personal, recognizable style

The whites are often luminous, vertical, and saline, but never lack texture and depth. The skin-contact wines are never caricatures: Friulano and Pinot Grigio Ramato are reference points for balance and integrity. The reds, from Refosco to Merlot, speak the Friulian dialect of the soil, with sculpted tannins and pure fruit.
