Sauvignon Blanc Venezia Giulia IGT - Attems

The Sauvignon Blanc Venezia Giulia from Attems in Friuli-Venezia Giulia reveals a brilliant, pale yellow color in the wine glass. In the glass, this white wine from Attems offers aromas of mango, pineapple, apricot, mirabelle and guava, complemented by cocoa bean, garrigue and lovage. This Italian wine delights with its elegantly dry taste profile. It was bottled with exceptionally little residual sugar. As one would naturally expect from a wine in the high quality range, this Italian charmer offers, despite all its dryness, the finest balance. Excellent flavor does not necessarily require a lot of sugar. On the finish, this youthful white wine from the Friuli-Venezia Giulia wine-growing region finally impresses with considerable length. Once again, nuances of Galia melon and pineapple appear. In the aftertaste, mineral notes from the marl- and clay-dominated soils join in.

Vinification of the Sauvignon Blanc Venezia Giulia from Attems

This wine clearly focuses on a single grape variety, namely Sauvignon Blanc. Only first-class grape material was used for this exceptionally elegant varietal wine from Attems. In Friuli-Venezia Giulia, the vines that produce the grapes for this wine grow on soils of clay, sandstone, loam and marl. After the harvest, the grapes are brought to the winery without delay. There they are sorted and gently crushed. Fermentation then takes place in stainless steel tanks and small wooden barrels at controlled temperatures. After fermentation, the wine matures for several months in barriques made of oak. The maturation in oak barrels is followed by a considerable period of bottle aging, which makes this white wine even more complex.
