THE WINE

The Sauvignon from the Alturis winery is produced with Sauvignon grapes grown in the vineyards owned by the winery, which are between the plains and hills near Cividale del Friuli in Friuli Venezia Giulia. A fresh and enveloping white wine that well represents the winery that produces it.

THE WINEMAKING

The harvest of the grapes is strictly manual and takes place in September. Once in the cellar, the whole bunches get softly pressed, and the must obtained is left to decant statically. The wine then ages in steel tanks on the yeasts at a controlled temperature for a period that varies depending on the production year. After bottling, the wine rests for a few months in the cellar before being placed on the market.

THE TASTING

Bright straw yellow with greenish reflections. The aroma is elegant with pleasant vegetal hints of sage, tomato leaf and mint, leaving room for fruity grapefruit notes to finish with puffs of tropical fruit. Fresh on the palate with a good correspondence between aromas and flavours, good sapidity, and excellent persistence.

FOOD PAIRINGS

Excellent as an aperitif, it goes well with fish, shellfish, vegetables and soft cheeses. Try it with asparagus.
