The Encounter

The Experience of Roots,
the Momentum of the Future

Fr|Al is born from the encounter and complicity between Francesco and Alvise Spagnolli: the profound experience of the land and the momentum of the new generation unite in a cuvée of pure excellence. An authentic dialogue between father and son, etched into torn paper and safeguarded in the silence of time.

Extreme Viticulture

Audacious slopes,
manual harvest

From Trentina pergola and Guyot up to 11,000 vines/ha.

Pinot Noir, strictly hand-harvested in small perforated baskets to preserve complete berry integrity, undergoes gentle fractioned pressing. Vinification takes place in stainless steel and French oak barriques.

A slow second fermentation follows, then over 40 months of ageing on the lees. The finishing touch is a liqueur d’expédition crafted from reserve wines carefully preserved in a perpetual reserve.

Sensory Experience

Tasting Notes

Sight

A straw yellow with lemon nuances frames the fine mountain perlage that, dense and delicate, enriches the glass with brilliant golden gleams.

Nose

An assertive aroma with luscious notes of ripe fruit: quince, pomegranate and Mediterranean citrus, accompanied by complex pastry-like nuances that evolve with aeration.

Taste

A decisive, clean entry. The acidity provides a counterpoint to the pronounced alpine minerality, while a delicate mousse lengthens the finish across a creamy texture.

Gastronomic Pairings

Fr|Al is ideally suited to a whole-meal gastronomic journey, courtesy of its profound and savory structure. An ideal companion for raw seafood, fish tartare, and flavorful medium-aged cheeses.
