From the heart of Friuli’s Collio region, Borgo del Tiglio’s Collio Rosso Riserva 2018 showcases the artistry and precision behind one of the area’s most respected estates. This wine, a blend of local and international varieties, reflects the unique terroir of Collio—where steep slopes and the influence of the nearby Alps create an ideal microclimate for producing reds with both power and finesse.

The 2018 vintage is rich yet refined, with dark fruit—blackberry, plum—intertwined with earthy notes and a subtle hint of spice. The wine’s structure is firm, with tannins that provide depth while maintaining a smooth, rounded texture. There’s a fine balance between the fruit’s ripeness and the wine’s mineral edge, which adds complexity without overwhelming the palate. The finish is long, with lingering dark fruit and a slight touch of savory herbs, leaving a clean, satisfying aftertaste.

Borgo del Tiglio’s Collio Rosso Riserva 2018 is a versatile wine, pairing beautifully with roasted meats, grilled vegetables, or aged cheeses. Its elegance and structure make it an excellent choice for cellaring, where it will continue to evolve and reveal new layers of complexity over time. Whether enjoyed now or in a few years, this wine is a true expression of Collio’s ability to produce red wines of exceptional depth and refinement.

"A dusty bouquet of dried violets, cracked chalk, incense, tobacco and crushed blackberries wafts up from the 2018 Collio Rosso Riserva. This is racy with silky textures and cooling acidity, coming across as quite savory, with tart red and black fruits that slowly saturate. Sweet herbal tones last through the long and pleasantly bitter finale as hints of steeped plum resonate over a bed of sweet tannins. While considered a warm vintage, the 2018 is completely classic and harmonious. Due to the high quality of the vintage, Borgo del Tiglio decided to bottle both the Rosso Riserva and Rosso delle Centa." —Eric Guido

"A northern Italian Merlot (with a 5% addition of Cabernet Franc), the Borgo del Tiglio 2018 Collio Rosso Riserva is a beautiful wine with a delicate approach and hushed intensity that reinforces a true sense of elegance that is especially rare for this grape. The bouquet is embroidered with redcurrant, tart cherry, blue flower and something exotic like caraway seeds or crushed flaxseed." —Monica Larner

More about Borgo del Tiglio

Nicola Manferrari trained as a pharmacist, took over the family vineyard when his father died, and bottled his first wine in 1982. Now considered one of Friuli's original trailblazers, he makes brilliant, saline-infused whites that define what Collio can be. Collio Ronco della Chiesa Friulano—from vines planted 70+ years ago—elevated Friulano production from industrial to artisanal. Elevation through restraint.
