Description
Semi-aromatic still white wine from Collio DOC, 13.5% ABV, produced by Venica. 100% Sauvignon, 0.75 L bottle, 2024 vintage. A Sauvignon that expresses the elegance of Collio, a unique region where a passion for wine has been passed down from generation to generation. The grapes macerate for approximately 20 hours at a temperature of 11-12°C in special containers, protected from oxygen by innovative systems that recycle their own fermentation carbon dioxide, reducing the presence of antioxidants. Twenty percent of the must ferments and ages on the lees for six months in large wooden barrels (20-27 hl), the remainder in steel tanks. The wine is then blended and bottled during the full moons between late March and May. A multifaceted nose that initially unfolds the typical varietal aromas of honeysuckle, gooseberry, boxwood, cassis leaf, and lime juice, then opens to fruity hints reminiscent of pineapple, guava, and rennet apple, and finally finishes with a minerally finish of great intensity. On the palate, it overflows with freshness and savory flavors, resulting in a sharp, crystalline sip with a very long finish, with aromatic aftertaste consistent with the aromas.
