This Sauvignon Blanc stands out for its intense golden yellow colour, clear and beautifully consistent. The aromatic profile is deep and complex, characterised by sweet notes of honey and a rich array of \u003cstrong\u003etropical fruit\u003c\/strong\u003e, including prominent hints of pineapple, banana, apple and white peach. These notes blend with delicate floral nuances and spicy memories of cinnamon and vanilla, resulting from skilful ageing in wood. On the palate, it reveals a \u003cstrong\u003ebalanced structure\u003c\/strong\u003e, coming across as fresh, enveloping and marked by a \u003cstrong\u003emineral finish\u003c\/strong\u003e that prolongs its flavour persistence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes come from the \u003cstrong\u003eCicinis vineyard\u003c\/strong\u003e, located in the Collio Goriziano area of Friuli-Venezia Giulia, at an altitude of 153 metres. The rows benefit from a south and south-east exposure, on soil composed of \u003cstrong\u003emarl and sandstone\u003c\/strong\u003e of Eocene origin, formed by the uplifting of ancient seabeds. This particular geological formation imparts a pronounced savouriness to the wine. The Attems estate boasts historical roots documented since 1106, working with dedication to enhance the \u003cstrong\u003epedoclimatic characteristics\u003c\/strong\u003e of the surrounding landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe process begins with a \u003cstrong\u003emanual harvest\u003c\/strong\u003e carried out in the second decade of September. In the winery, the vinification of the Sauvignon Blanc involves partial maceration to extract the maximum aromatic potential. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature in \u003cstrong\u003eFrench and American oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, complemented by partial malolactic fermentation which gives structural softness. Ageing lasts twelve months in new and first-passage wood, concluding with a final rest in the bottle before release to achieve perfect \u003cstrong\u003etaste harmony\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe roots of Attems in Collio date back to 1106, bearing witness to a centuries-old winemaking tradition now preserved by the \u003cstrong\u003eFrescobaldi\u003c\/strong\u003e family. The name Cicinis pays tribute to the hill of the same name where the vineyards sink their roots into a unique soil, composed of \u003cstrong\u003eEocene marl and sandstone\u003c\/strong\u003e formed from ancient seabeds. This precious heritage, enhanced by the technical expertise of oenologist Daniele Vuerich, gives rise to a wine that, with the 2024 vintage, boasts the excellent score of 96\/100 awarded by \u003cstrong\u003eJames Suckling\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Attems - Frescobaldi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47772161769643,"sku":"62575","price":26.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.xtrawine.com\/en-be\/products\/attems-collio-sauvignon-blanc-cicinis-2025","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
