WINE DESCRIPTION
Borgo Conventi Sauvignon Collio is a distinguished white wine from the renowned Collio DOC region in Italy. Made entirely from Sauvignon grapes, the vineyards benefit from southeast and east exposures, and soils derived from the disintegration of marl and stratified sandstone, which are clayey at higher elevations and finer in the foothills. The microclimate features mild temperatures, rainy springs, and hot, dry summers, with vineyard ages ranging from 10 to 45 years. Harvested in the early morning and gently pressed, fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks over approximately 10 days with temperature control. Select grapes undergo brief cold maceration before pressing. After fermentation, the wine rests on fine lees throughout the winter, achieving a refined character before bottling in spring. Borgo Conventi Sauvignon Collio is celebrated for its balanced acidity, rich aromatics, and elegant structure, making it a superb representation of the Collio terroir.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Borgo Conventi Sauvignon Collio is an exquisite wine that hails from the Collio region in Italy.This wine is made from the Sauvignon Blanc grape variety, which is known for its vibrant and aromatic characteristics.
On the nose, Borgo Conventi Sauvignon Collio offers a captivating bouquet of tropical fruits, such as passion fruit and pineapple, along with citrus notes of grapefruit and lime. These aromas are complemented by subtle herbal undertones, adding complexity to the wine.
The palate of this wine is equally impressive. It showcases a perfect balance between the fruity and herbaceous flavors, with a refreshing acidity that brings liveliness to each sip. The tropical fruit flavors persist on the palate, accompanied by hints of green bell pepper and a touch of minerality.
Borgo Conventi Sauvignon Collio is a medium-bodied wine with a crisp and clean finish. It is an excellent choice to pair with seafood dishes, particularly shellfish and grilled fish. The wine's vibrant acidity and aromatic profile make it a delightful companion to lighter, fresh cuisine.
