Tasting Notes
In Friuli, the climate and soil are ideal for the Sauvignon varietal, a grape which responds greatly to soil and climate conditions. On the nose, aromas of peaches, mango, bell pepper leaves, and sage. On the palate, a structured body delivers an evolution of flavors that harmonize with its intense bouquet. Enjoy as an aperitif or pair with light fish dishes and antipasti such as Prosciutto and melon. Serve at 12°C.
