The Sauvignon grape is native to the Gironde, near the Sauternes, in the Bordeaux area of France. It has been present in Friuli Venezia Giulia since 1800, here it has been grown and produced almost only on the Collio and Colli Orientali hills.
The hills of the Collio of Eocene origin, are made up for the most part of marl and sandstone. The proximity to the sea and the woods surrounding the vineyards make it a place with a perfectly cool and breezy microclimate, making it one of the most suitable for enhancing, in an original way, the qualitative characteristics of this variety. The vineyard is located in the highest and most exposed areas to the east of Mount Quarin and the hills surrounding the town of Cormons.
The harvest is done manually in the first week of September
The de-stemmed grapes are pressed and left to macerate for about 18 hours at 10 ° C, the must obtained from the soft pressing is statically decanted for a day, and fermented at 16/17 ° C. After fermentation, the wine obtained remains on noble lees and refines in oak tonneau for 5 months
The color in the glass is a beautiful bright shade of straw yellow, with light greenish reflections. On the nose the scent is very aromatic but not annoying, it is elegant and complex, with fruity notes of mango and passion fruit, but also of white peach, with vivid hints of sweet elderflower.
The flavor is great, and that's what is expected of what this wine promises on the nose. The entrance is very balanced, with a fresh and dry flavor, with a long persistence and marked sapidity.
It is a wine that goes well with appetizers with ham, first courses with zucchini or asparagus, shellfish and fish dishes with sauce.
