Sauvignon Collio - Draga

The elegant Sauvignon Collio from the house of Draga flows into the glass with a bright light yellow color. The bouquet of this white wine from Friuli-Venezia Giulia enchants with notes of elderflower. Following the aromas further, minerals and pepper join in.

This Italian wine tastes pleasantly dry. It was bottled with an exceptionally low residual sugar content. As you would expect from a wine, this Italian naturally delights, despite all its dryness, with the finest balance. Aroma does not necessarily require residual sugar. Balanced and complex, this fleshy and crisp white wine presents itself on the palate. The finish of this white wine from the wine-growing region of Friuli-Venezia Giulia is ultimately impressive with its beautiful length. The aftertaste is also accompanied by mineral nuances from the sandstone- and clay-dominated soils.

Vinification of Draga Sauvignon Collio

This well-balanced white wine from Italy is vinified from the Sauvignon Blanc grape variety. The grapes grow under optimal conditions in Friuli-Venezia Giulia. Here, the vines sink their roots deep into soils of clay and sandstone. After the harvest, the grapes are quickly brought to the press house. There they are selected and gently crushed. Fermentation then takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. After fermentation, the wine is aged for several months on the fine lees before it is finally bottled.
