Codice Prodotto: Venica
This Sauvignon comes from a DOC Collio vineyard. This white grape variety comes from France and it’s part of the very well-known “international” grapes. The grapes were hand picked and de-stemmed between August 30th and September 19th 2019. The 20 days difference in the maturation times of the vineyards is remarkable and it’s due to the vines’ age, exposure and altitude. The must was then left on the skins for about 18/20 hours at a temperature of 10°-12° C in tanks especially designed to protect it from oxygen by using recycled carbon dioxide from the first fermentation, in order to avoid using high levels of antioxidants. Subsequently, 10% of the must fermented and aged on the lees for 6 months in 20-27 hl barrels and the remaining part in stainless steel vats.
