Friuli Colli Orientali Doc

Finesse and balance

Tasting notes

Brilliant straw yellow with golden hues.

Fine and composed, with delicate notes of citrus, fresh herbs and a subtle mineral trace. No exuberance, but precision and elegance.

Striking for its length and for a structure that favours finesse over impact. It keeps the character of Sauvignon, but interprets it in a deeper, more refined style.
