Questo vino
Vineyard and terroir
The Sauvignon Blanc comes from the winery’s vineyards in Friuli.
Vinification
The grapes are generally harvested by hand in the final ten days of September. After destemming, they undergo low-temperature maceration in chilled pneumatic presses to extract antioxidant compounds from the skins. The must then ferments at a controlled temperature.
Ageing
The wine matures for 6–7 months in large oak casks of varying sizes.
Tasting profile
A well-balanced wine.
Serving and pairing
In autumn and winter, serve at 11–13 °C.
Label / history
Cantina Produttori Cormons was founded in 1962 by eleven representatives of grape growers and wine producers in northeastern Italy. The association established comprehensive winemaking rules intended to protect its founders’ vision of an industry unaffected by changing fashions and to ensure wine quality. By 1969, the Conegliano-Valdobbiadene area had received official recognition and DOC status.
The consortium is a private organization representing the public interest and includes most of the region’s producers across all categories. It oversees production from vine planting through winemaking, collaborates with research institutes and introduces new methods intended to improve quality while complying with environmental standards.
