DESIGNATION: D.O.C. FRIULI COLLI ORIENTALI
UNEXPECTED COMPLEXITY. THESE ARE THE WORDS THAT DESCRIBE OUR SAUVIGNON, CAPABLE OF INTRIGUING EVERY PALATE, THANKS TO THE DIFFERENT HARVEST TIMES OF THE CLUSTERS. IT'S A FRESH WINE THAT TELLS THE STORY OF SPRING WITH EXOTIC, HERBACEOUS, AND FLORAL NOTES.
GRAPES
Sauvignon Blanc. Vineyards over 40 years old, cultivated using the double upside-down and Guyot training system, with a planting density of 3,000 vines per hectare.
PRODUCTION AREA
At the La Viarte estate in the Colli Orientali del Friuli, in the municipality of Prepotto, on 24 hectares of unique hillside vineyards at approximately 150/200 meters above sea level, with an eastern and southeastern exposure, the soils of Eocene origin locally known as “Ponca” consist of layers of marl and sandstone.
WINEMAKING
The harvest is carried out by hand, followed by a soft pressing of the grapes with vinification in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperature. It rests for 6 months on the fine lees in stainless steel tanks, then undergoes further refinement in the bottle for at least 1 year before being commercialized.
ORGANOLEPTIC CHARACTERISTICS
Intense, refined, and complex on the nose, with exotic fruit aromas, reminiscent of passion fruit, lychee, and mango. On the palate, it is fresh and savory, with a long and endless finish.
SERVING TEMPERATURE
Serve at 8-10°C in a wide glass.
PAIRING
Aperitif, first course, fish, white meat, cheese.
