Production of Sauvignon Blanc IGT - Venchiarezza

The grapes for the Sauvignon Blanc IGT - Venchiarezza come from carefully tended vineyards in Friuli-Venezia Giulia. This area benefits from an intriguing combination of alpine and maritime influences. During the day, the sun caresses the vines, while cooler air currents at night create temperature differences that intensify the development of aromas in the grapes.

The soils are diverse, shaped by marl and sandstone, in some areas mixed with gravel and clay. This soil structure gives the wines freshness, minerality, and a clear profile. Sauvignon Blanc responds sensitively to terroir and reflects its origins here with aromatic precision and delicate spice.

Harvesting is carried out carefully and in several passes so that only optimally ripened grapes reach the cellar. The grapes are transported promptly and gently for processing in order to preserve their aromas and freshness. Quality selection begins in the vineyard and remains perceptible later in the glass.

In the cellar, the philosophy is one of clarity and precision. The must undergoes controlled, relatively cool fermentation, emphasizing the characteristic Sauvignon notes. The wine is matured primarily in stainless-steel tanks so that the fruit, herbal spice, and varietal character remain unaltered. If wood is used, it appears only very subtly, leaving the grape variety to take center stage.

The Venchiarezza house style is based on restraint and sensitivity. Technology supports the process without dominating it. Every decision is aimed at clarity, freshness, and elegance. The result can be seen in the glass: a Sauvignon Blanc with a distinctive bouquet, precise structure, and a long, clearly defined finish.

The ideal serving temperature is 10 to 12 °C in a white-wine glass. Slightly chilled, the wine reveals its full radiance.

The wine can be stored for approximately two years from the vintage. Stored in a cool, dark place and laid horizontally, it develops its aromatic diversity particularly harmoniously. Freshness and primary fruit take center stage, so it is recommended to enjoy the wine within this period, when the lively character of the Sauvignon Blanc is most clearly expressed.
