THE WINE

The Sauvignon of the Zorzettig winery is produced with 100% Sauvignon grapes grown in the municipality of Spessa di Cividale in the eastern hills of Friuli. The clayey soil made up of layers of marl and sandstone makes the area ideal for cultivating this grape of French origin.

THE WINEMAKING

The harvest is strictly manual, and only the selected grapes are brought to the cellar. In the cellar, both the winemaking and the ageing are monitored with extreme attention. The wine ages for at least five months in steel tanks and, once bottled, rests for a few months in the cellar before being put on the market.

THE TASTING

Straw yellow. The aroma is complex, with pleasant floral scents that alternate well with notes of hay and puffs of tropical fruit and hints of elderberry. Elegant and salty on the palate, very well balanced with a perfect correspondence between aromas and flavour. The finish is long and intense.

FOOD PAIRINGS

Excellent as an aperitif, it goes well with fish, shellfish and vegetable-based dishes. A must try with asparagus.
