Variety: 100% Sauvignon

Terroir: The Colli Orientali del Friuli area is considered one of the most suitable for growing vines thanks to the specific composition of the soil and the favorable microclimate. The hillsides covered with terraced vineyards are protected from the cold winds blowing from the north by the Julian Prealps and are pleasantly blown by the warm breezes from the Adriatic Sea, just a few dozen kilometers away.
Soil: The soil is made up of alternating layers of flaky marls (clayey limestone, known as "ponca" in Friulian) and sandstone (calcified sands), rich in lime, potassium and phosphorus.

Vine formation: traditional Friuli single-turned

Vinification: The grapes are hand-picked at the right degree of ripeness (usually the first week of September) and the grapes undergo a cold maceration process for 2 days, then they are gently crushed. The resulting must is left to settle statically in the cold and local fermentation yeast is added to it. It is then left to ferment slowly and mature "Sur lies" (Sur Lie - "on the lees") at a controlled temperature with frequent batonage. Only after additional aging in bottle and refinement will it be ready for consumption by customers - >bottling is at least a year and a half after the harvest.
