Capo Martino is the name of the hill purchased by Silvio Jermann in 1991 in the municipality of Dolegna del Collio. The 1991 harvest occurred on the 110th anniversary of Anton Jermann’s arrival in Villanova. Silvio Jermann and his family celebrated this unique occasion by producing for that vintage only, a wine called Piccolo Sogno verso una terra promessa (“Small Dream towards a promised land”), which evoked an ancient heritage and past farming traditions of this soil.
The label for Piccolo Sogno expressed elements deeply rooted in the farming world: sun, water, grapes embodying the fruit of the soil, fish as religious symbols.
The philosophy and vision that went into that 1991 “Small Dream” continues with Capo Martino – a wine combining elegance, structure, complexity and consistency.
Friulano, Malvasia Istriana, Ribolla gialla, Picolit
Beautiful golden yellow in color, brilliant and luminous. The nose is intense and complex, with notes of ripe fruit – Mediterranean and tropical – and dried flowers, barely touched by a subtle veil of vanilla. Apples, bananas, hazelnuts, genista and passionflower stand out. On the palate, it’s pure velvet, showing perfect balance of flavors, delicate aromatic qualities, endless persistence. Excellent with chickpea puree and sautéed octopus with rosemary.
