SAUVIGNON
D.O.C. COLLI ORIENTALI DEL FRIULI
It is clear straw-yellow with tinges of green. The intense
bouquet, in which fragrances of peppers, tomato leaves
and sage predominate, has exceptional breadth and is immediately
identifiable. The flavour is dry but concentrated with
nicely balanced aromas and plenty of body. An elegant
and dignified wine.
