Sauvignon Collio DOC

PRODUCTION

Mostly from vineyards around Gorizia and San Floriano del Collio and Zegla, two zones which are geographically near to each other but enjoying quite distinct pedi-climatic features. The more exposed grapes in San Floriano produce more intense and structured wines while the grapes from Zegla result in markedly delicate and fragrant wines.

TYPE OF SOIL

Terraced cultivation in marl- and sandstone-rich soils with a healthy sandy and mineral element.

TRAINING SYSTEM

Guyot and Cappuccina

HARVEST

Hand-picked in early September.

WINEMAKING METHOD

The partial cold maceration process and lack of contact with oxygen ensure that the variety’s unique aromas are delivered directly into the bottle along with an elegance coming from a brief passage in 25hl barrels.

RECOMMENDED CELLARING

2 years.
