About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The estate’s vineyards are in the municipality of Torreano, in Colli Orientali del Friuli. A maritime climate, the mountain chain and cold air arriving from the Balkans shape the microclimate.

Vinification

After harvest, the grapes are pressed and cooled with dry ice. The must is extracted using pneumatic presses and undergoes cold maceration, followed by temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks.

Ageing

The wine undergoes a short period of ageing.

Tasting profile

The nose has Sauvignon Blanc’s distinctive varietal aromas. The wine is elegant and fresh, with a soft, balanced palate.
