Sauvignon Doc Friuli (0.75)

Sauvignon Doc Friuli

Production Area The grapes come from two different production areas: the Colli Orientali del Friuli, an area particularly suited to hillside viticulture and the Lower Friulian Plain, an area richly cultivated following impressive reclamation works dating back to the early 20th century. 

Municipalities Manzano - Piancada, Palazzolo dello Stella

Altitudine 70m asl - Piancada: 0m asl

Soil In Manzano the soil is made up of a mixture of marl and clay that has stratified over the millennia. The rich nature of the soil, together with the significant temperature variations, contribute to the production of structured and intense white wines. In Piancada the silt-sandy, silt-clay subsoil is suitable for the cultivation of vines, which find in the fertility and salinity of the soil a fundamental characteristic for the aromaticity of the wines.

Production Process Grapes are harvested when fully ripe, immediately cooled and cryomacerated for 24 to 48 hours to extract the typical aromas of the vine. We then proceed with soft pressing and fermentation. Vinification in steel tanks takes place for approximately 8 months, followed by cold stabilisation, filtration, bottling and packing procedures.

Organoleptic Characteristics Brilliant straw yellow with golden tinges. Intense bouquet where notes of boxwood and citrus emerge. On the palate it is soft and well balanced with a good sapidity on the finishing. Chemical
