WINE DESCRIPTION

Torre Rosazza Sauvignon is a vibrant expression of the unique terroir of the Rosazzo Hills in Friuli Venezia Giulia, where cooler microclimates and the distinctive "Ponca" soil—a blend of clay marl and sandstone—create an ideal environment for cultivating Sauvignon Blanc. This meticulously crafted wine benefits from hand-harvested grapes, a brief cold maceration, and soft pressing, followed by fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. A three-month aging on noble lees enhances its complexity and texture. With vineyards perfectly situated on terraced hillsides, exposed to Adriatic breezes and dramatic temperature swings, this Sauvignon encapsulates the balance of tradition, precision, and the mineral-driven elegance Friuli is renowned for.
