Collio DOC Sauvignon blanc 2023

Livon's Collio Sauvignon blanc is a pure expression of Sauvignon blanc in the Friuli region. Despite being a French grape, Sauvignon blanc has found ideal conditions in the eastern hills of Friuli-Venezia Giulia. The mild climate in fact limits the green features of the variety and instead enhances the fruity ones. Furthermore, the characteristic soil of sedimentary origin called “ponca” favors the development of aromatic compounds in Sauvignon blanc.

Grapes are hand-picked. A pre-ferment cryomaceration for a few hours allows to extract flavor compounds. Then fermentation is carried out in steel vats at a controlled temperature. The wine rests in the steel vat on the lees for 5 months before bottling.
