The Wine

The Sauvignon from the Jacuss winery is produced with 100% Sauvignon grapes grown in  vineyards owned by the winery that are located in Montina di Torreano in the heart of the eastern hills of Friuli. The terroir and the temperature variations between day and night make this area one of the most suitable for growing grapes in Friuli Venezia Giulia.

The wine is assembled and bottled shortly before the new harvest. The bottles rest for a few more months in the cellar before being released on the market.
