Description

The year 2022 gave extraordinary grapes, grown with passion and dedication in the vineyards of the fascinating eastern hills of Friuli and the result is a wine with a brilliant straw yellow colour.

On the nose, this Sauvignon opens with a fragrant bouquet, offering notes of tropical fruit, such as mango and papaya, along with hints of fresh citrus. These aromas combine in a refined and vibrant taste, with a pleasant freshness and an underlined mineral note.

An ideal companion for light dishes, starters, seafood and fresh cheeses.

Winery history

The estate is led by the Bricolo family: parents Alberta and Roberto started the business, and it is now managed by their daughter Roberta. According to the winery, it was founded by the parents in 1975; in 2014 the current owners began the conversion to organic viticulture, which resulted in vineyard certification. Over the years the facilities have been expanded with architectural additions focused on hospitality and wine tourism.

Production philosophy

The company's philosophy centers on organic viticulture and sustainability: the organic approach is regarded as an indispensable choice to safeguard health and the land and to enhance the relationship between soil, vine and climate, with winemaking planned already in the vineyard.

Terroir and vineyards

The vineyards are located on the moraine hills around the village of Custoza, in the municipality of Sommacampagna, on glacially derived soils rich in pebbles and calcium carbonate, which impart minerality and salinity to the wines, typical of the Lake Garda area.

Awards and recognitions

Among the recognitions reported by the press and industry platforms are: Tre Bicchieri for the Custoza 'San Michelin'; international awards such as a Silver Medal and mentions in Decanter for the Custoza Superiore 'Summa'; and Mundus Vini medals for wines such as Ca' Nova.
