Wine pairing notes
With its bouquet of unripe fruits, pear, white peach, and a zesty freshness Giuliano is a worthwhile combination with this seafood dish that combines the juicy texture of the scallop, the moderate bitterness of its stir-fried crust and the sharpness of the citriccondiment. They match very well with the notes of almond and apple and the long-lasting taste of this well-balanced wine from the Friuli Venezia Giulia Region.

Winery
Do Ville, a name that dates back to the golden age of Aquileia, highlighting our strong bond to this land. A land where the fertile ancient Roman country villas once rose and were appreciated for the excellent quality of the wines produced there during the Roman Imperial period: the same land where Do Ville vineyards flourish today. It is inevitable to establish a permanent bond with the roots of our past and with the noble tradition of Friulian winemaking. A source of pride, of knowledge and respect for one of the most ancient arts: the purest art of wine-making.
