EDDA

Edda is the most exclusive and historically resonant white wine in the Monastero di Aquileia portfolio — produced from 100% Hungarian Pálava, a variety grown in honour of family tradition and historic holdings in Hungary. This is a wine of genuine rarity: the Pálava grape, developed in the Czech Republic in the 1970s from a cross of Müller-Thurgau and Traminer, is encountered in Italian wine production with exceptional infrequency, and its cultivation at the Monastero di Aquileia estate reflects a family history that extends beyond the Italian borders to the Hungarian agricultural world where their ancestral roots also reach.

The specific choice to cultivate Pálava at this Friuli estate — positioned just a few kilometres from the Carnic Alps and a stone's throw from the Adriatic, on clay soils of alluvial origin rich in mineral salts — reflects both the personal significance of this variety to the family and their confidence that the Friuli Aquileia terroir's specific combination of bora winds, lagoon breezes, and mineral-rich clay can give the variety a character of genuine distinction.

Crystalline yellow in colour — a luminous clarity that announces a wine of precise winemaking and careful handling. The nose offers an intense bouquet of lime and apricot with classic notes of white field flowers: the characteristic aromatic profile of Pálava at its most expressive, refined by the Friuli Aquileia terroir's mineral influence into something of unusual specificity and individual charm.

Intense, clean, mineral, and savoury on the palate, with excellent balance between acidity and freshness — qualities that place Edda among the most technically accomplished white wines in the UniqueWines portfolio. A wine of genuine rarity, genuine quality, and genuine personal meaning.
