Spessa (Udine – Italy), March 2025 Easter is the perfect time to celebrate renewal, conviviality, and traditions passed down through generations. Among the symbols of this holiday, a wine that tells a story of heritage, passion, and terroir cannot be missing: Pignolo Myò by Annalisa Zorzettig (link).
An expression of Friuli’s winemaking excellence, Pignolo Myò originates in the Colli Orientali del Friuli, where the Zorzettig family has been dedicated to the culture of wine for generations. Annalisa Zorzettig, now leading the winery, inherited from her father a deep love for viticulture and the mission to enhance native grape varieties that embody the soul of Friuli Venezia Giulia, such as Pignolo.
“Pignolo Myò is a wine that knows how to wait and mature with patience, just like the values passed down in a family. Its strength lies in its depth and elegance, in its ability to deliver authentic emotions with every sip. Just as Easter is a moment of reflection and sharing, this wine encapsulates the memory of the past and the beauty of the future.” – says Annalisa Zorzettig.
Aged for a long period to achieve the highest level of complexity, Pignolo Myò is intense, enveloping, and refined, making it perfect for celebrating and gathering around the Easter table. Its balsamic and spicy notes harmoniously intertwine with hints of spirit-soaked cherries, plums, and sweet licorice, while on the palate, it reveals warmth, length, and structure, with silky tannins that pair beautifully with rich and flavorful dishes.
During Easter lunch, Pignolo Myò pairs wonderfully with roast lamb, baked kid, aged cheeses, and important first courses. For those who wish to pay homage to Friulian tradition, it is perfect with crispy frico or a savory herb frittata, dishes that reflect the authenticity of local cuisine.
Choosing Pignolo Myò for Easter means indulging in an authentic experience, a journey through the flavors and emotions that make this holiday special. A wine that celebrates renewal, family, and the beauty of traditions that endure over time.
