Sauvignon Blanc is an international grape variety grown in many areas of the world. The two schools (zones) of reference are French; the Loire Valley, which produces<br />particularly aromatic, savoury and mineral Sauvignons, and the Bordeaux zone, which often blends this variety with Semillon, giving it structure and body. In both cases,<br />elegance and finesse are characteristic of only the best wines.<br />The right bank of the Isonzo, with its warm and stony soils, decisive for a superior structure, and a climate favoured in the temperature change by the ventilation of Balkan<br />origin and by Mediterranean influences due to its proximity to the sea, is a site of great potential for following what can be called 'the Friulian way to Sauvignon Blanc'.<br /><br />Grape variety: Sauvignon Blanc<br />Denomination: DOC Friuli Isonzo<br />Vineyard: Cultivated with organic fertilisation and integrated phytosanitary defence (EU regulations) with abolition of chemical weeding.<br />Vinification: Fermentation in steel tanks (20-22 °C), combined maturation in stainless steel/wood on fine deposit for 11 months with frequent bâtonnage. Bottling and aging in<br />bottle for a minimum of 12 months.<br />Harvest: By hand with careful selection of grapes.<br />Alcohol content: 13,5 % Vol.<br />Serving temperature: 11° C<br />A very respectable vintage for this variety. The 'Friulian way to Sauvignon Blanc' is exalted for its aromatic and structural combination. A wine for collectors, perfect with rich<br />fish dishes and fresh cheeses.<br />
