THE WINE
The Sauvignon Blanc of the Villa Vitas winery is produced with 100% Sauvignon Blanc grapes grown in the vineyards owned by the winery. We are located in Strassoldo, a small town in the municipality of Cervignano del Friuli in the province of Udine in Friuli Venezia Giulia. Villa Vitas is located in the heart of a centuries-old park in the territory of the DOC Friuli Aquileia; here the soil is of alluvial origin, therefore rich in clay and sand.
THE WINEMAKING
After the harvest, only the selected grapes are brought to the cellar. The winemaking takes place in steel tanks at a controlled temperature. Refinement also takes place in steel and after assembly and bottling, the wine rests for a few months in the cellar before being placed on the market.
THE TASTING
Straw yellow; the nose is intense, elegant and complex, with hints of white-fleshed fruit that intertwine with citrus fruits and the typical vegetable notes of pepper to close with tomato leaf. Savoury on the palate, very well balanced, with a perfect correspondence between the aromas and the flavour. The finish is long and intense.
FOOD PAIRINGS
Perfect as an aperitif, it goes well with white meats and fish and fresh cheeses. Try it with vegetable soups.
