Sauvignon
This vine has been cultivated with considerable success for some time in the lower areas of the Rosazzo Hills, where it is able to best express its intense aromatic charge by virtue of the particular microclimate of these areas, which is cooler than the high hills. The ponca, the soil of our hills, gives Sauvignon a pleasant flavor.
This Sauvignon was awarded 90 points at the Wine Spectator.

Color
It has a pale straw yellow color with greenish reflections.
Bouquet
The scent is of bouquet of well-defined aromas that follow one another: initially elderflower, then hints of green pepper, tomato leaf and boxwood.
