This Sauvignon is a testament to authenticity and simplicity, obtained from a cold maceration of at least 36 hours to enhance the Sauvignon's varietal character, and a rigorous vinification process that also includes a series of bâtonnage (stirring of the must from bottom to top) at varying intervals, aimed at adding complexity and structure. Bottled in the early spring following the harvest, this Sauvignon is a surefire taste, showcasing all the potential this grape has to offer in the Colli Orientali del Friuli, a blessed land that continues to be among the pinnacle of Italian viticulture.
Colli Orientali Del Friuli DOC Sauvignon La Tunella displays a bright straw yellow color with vivid greenish highlights. On the nose, it presents the varietal's typical aromas, which, with intensity and elegance, range from sage and tomato leaf, nettle and white melon, all the way to yellow pepper. The same aromatic intensity is found on the palate, where La Tunella masterfully showcases a supple, fresh, and perfectly balanced body, enhanced by a long, aromatic finish.
A wine for seafood appetizers, it pairs well with lobster, crawfish, scampi, and even salmon. It's also perfect with a risotto with aromatic herbs.
