Description
Sauvignon is an important grape variety of French origin, originating in the Loire Valley, whose name derives from the word “savage”, i.e. wild. Introduced into Friuli Venezia Giulia during the Habsburg domination in the 1880s, it has become a wine of authentic Friulian tradition. As far back as 1891, it was said that the Sauvignon Blanc grown in sandstone-marl soils (ponca) had “A robust vegetation and a mediocre, but constant and regular production (...) When drunk, it showed a fineness of flavor and fragrance and an ensemble so harmonious and at the same time generous and distinct, that it was classified as the first white wine of our province.”

The company is in the heart of the Doc of the Colli Orientali of Friuli, in Cividale del Friuli - Unesco Natural Heritage from 2011 - the most fresh area of ??this famous terroir especially dedicated to the production of white wines. These hills are located in the northeast part of the province of Udine, continuing north towards the Carnic Alps. Mediterranean and continental climates ensure constant ventilation with sensitive thermal excursions that affect and enhance the varietal aromas of vines.
Nature has created a magic in this area of ??Friuli, creating marvelous hilly terrains where vineyards are subject to many microclimatic variables resulting from an unlimited union between the breezes of the Adriatic Sea and the fresh winds of the East. The vineyards - about 100 hectares - are scattered in different areas, they are of variable age and bred with guyot or with the classic "double upside down".
