Tasting Notes

This Collio DOC captures the distinctive personality of Friuli Venezia Giulia terroir. At 13.5% alcohol, it presents a well-balanced and harmonious profile. Crafted from Sauvignon 100%, this wine expresses the unique terroir characteristics. Expect crisp citrus and orchard fruit aromas framed by a clean, mineral finish. The fruit is sourced from vineyards on the hilly terrain of Capriva del Friuli, composed of marl and sandstone, between 80-200 meters above sea level. Vinification: alcoholic fermentation in steel tanks for 85% and in oak barrels for the remaining 15%. The wine is aged 8 months in steel tanks (85%) and wood barrels (15%). A wine capturing the crisp, mineral-driven style of Friuli whites.
