Friuli DOC Sauvignon 2022 Ronco del Frassino

Sauvignon Ronco del Frassino is perhaps the flagship label, a great manifestation of Friuli's vocation in the production of white wines. Born in the vineyards located on the flanks of the Friulian hills, the “ronchi”, immersed in a wooded landscape with a strong prevalence of ash trees. Hence, the name of the estate: Ronco del Frassino.

Pure Sauvignon, ferments in steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 18 °C. The maceration process takes place with the first batch of grapes which is subjected to 8 hours of maceration at a temperature of 15-16 °C, while the second batch macerates for 15 hours at 8 °C. Ageing follows for 6 months, again in steel. In spring, the two batches are merged and then filtered. Then the wine is bottled.

It presents itself to the sight of a beautiful straw yellow colour and reflections tending to greenish. The nose is intoxicated by intense and peculiar aromas, which remind us of pink grapefruit and exotic fruit, such as mango. The sip is fresh, with excellent structure.

It is the most suitable wine to accompany the aperitif ritual, and harmoniously marries seafood and shellfish.
