WINE DESCRIPTION
The Attems Cicinis D.O.C. Collio Sauvignon Blanc is crafted from grapes grown on the terraced hills of Cicinis in Puglia's Collio Goriziano region. The year began with a rainy January, transitioning to a warm summer that facilitated optimal ripening. Handpicked at peak maturity, the grapes undergo careful vinification, including pressing, static decanting, and fermentation in egg-shaped cement tanks and barriques. The wine is aged on the lees for seven months without malolactic fermentation, enhancing its richness. This Sauvignon Blanc exhibits a vibrant straw-yellow color and a complex bouquet of honeysuckle, bergamot, and peach, with a zesty finish.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Attems Cicinis D.O.C. Collio Sauvignon Blanc 2023 offers a full-bodied structure with bright acidity, showcasing flavors of feijoa, white pepper, and sage. Its elegant profile pairs beautifully with seafood, grilled vegetables, and light pasta dishes. Best enjoyed chilled, this wine is perfect for warm-weather dining and is best consumed young, although it can develop further with short-term cellaring.
