Red dry
Lis Neris is a winery in the upper Isonzo valley, in Friuli-Venezia Giulia. This red wine has been made since 1989, only in the finest vintages. The grapes grow around San Lorenzo Isontino and Corona, on a gravelly limestone plateau at 45–60 metres. The vines are over 30 years old, yields are low at around 40–45 hl per hectare, and the bunches are hand-picked with careful selection.
The blend is Merlot (90–95%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (5–10%). The grapes macerate for 10–15 days in stainless steel tanks with regular délestage, and the wine matures for 15–20 months in new 225-litre French oak barrels, followed by long bottle ageing. In 2016, spring rains during flowering caused some concern, but from mid-June the summer was steadily warm, rarely above 30 °C, allowing gradual ripening.
The producer gives the wine an ageing potential of up to 20 years and recommends it for important occasions.
Serve at 18 °C with red meat and aged cheeses.
Lis Neris is one of the most prestigious wineries in Friuli-Venezia Giulia, located in the Isonzo area of northeastern Italy. This winery is considered the benchmark of modern Friulian winemaking, renowned for its precise approach to terroir, small yields and extremely precise management of grape expression.
The winery was founded in 1987, and its philosophy is based on the synthesis of international and local varieties, adapted to the character of the Isonzo soils. Lis Neris is particularly famous for its high-class white wines, dominated by Sauvignon Blanc, Friulano, Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay and Riesling.
The winemaking process is based on the principle of small yields, strict selection of berries and an individual approach to each plot. Fermentation is often carried out in stainless steel tanks to maintain pure aromatics, and some wines are aged on the lees to achieve greater textural power and longevity.
Lis Neris wines are valued for:
This is a winery whose style is not focused on showiness, but on precision, balance and the language of terroir, which is why its wines are often found on the wine lists of high-class restaurants and in professional tastings.
