Hi, I went to the KZ Goriska Brda - Dobrovo winery in Slovenia (which
is on the border with northern Italy) a couple of years ago as part of
my honeymoon ^_^. The climate is very close to that of mid northern
Italy.
I didn't try wine from the varietal you mention unfortunately, but
tried many wines from their range. I think they are the biggest
cellar or even producer in the country and used giant stainless steel
tanks first. Subsequently they ferment in Oak barrels for the
european market and in steel tanks with oak chippings for the US
market. The guide told me that the American market seems to prefer
the taste that way.
I know none of this helps the OP much, but I thought I'd chip in :)
