Wine Profile
Wine Profile / Tasting Notes
Pale straw to golden in color. Herbal notes, sweet basil leaf and white stone aromas that accent a clean, lean and fresh mouthfeel. This is a quaffable, easy-to-enjoy wine.
Vineyard Notes
Vineyard location: vine varieties Morello, Sorriso and Cà di Terra. Soil type: clay, silt-like soil (ancient red earth), not very fertile. Altitude: 180-210 meters above sea level. Training system: Casara growing system 50%, GDC 35%; Spurred Cordon 15%.
Production Notes
Soft pressing of the whole grapes followed by fermentation which takes place at a controlled temperature of 15-16 C. After that the wine rests for 7 months on its fine lees with batonages and the bottling happens in May.
Winemaker Notes
This wine simultaneously expresses some of the particular characteristics of the Sauvignon vine variety and the typical character of our territory: a Sauvignon with an aroma of elderberry, tomato leaves and peaches, with hints of citrus and a mineral undertone, less spiced and green and more composed and complex in respect to the typical Friuli-Altoatesine notes, with a rich structure and balanced taste, and significant persistent aftertaste. A Sauvignon that is complex, expressive and personal.
Food & Wine Pairing
Pair it with appetizers (hearty), first and second courses with vegetables and fish, with light white meats served with vegetables.
