Zorzettig's Myò range embodies the goodness and beauty of a sustainable Friuli, in a style that revitalizes tradition. The approach is made-to-measure, from the vineyards to ageing: the meticulous selection of the best bunches from historic vineyards is followed by vinification and ageing in wood, fine-tuned according to the vintage and the vine, to craft inimitable wines. The Friulian identity is true, sincere, prominent and always expressed with kindness. Tautness and vitality, frankness and strength are accompanied in every sip by grace and finesse.
