Sauvignon Blanc Borgo Dei Vassalli

Borgo dei Vassalli originates from the evocative landscapes of Friuli Venezia Giulia, where the Isonzo River flows through lands rich in history, nature, and winemaking. It is precisely from this unique environment, filled with summer colors, intense aromas, and authentic flavors, that wines are born, designed to be youthful, fresh, and pleasantly accessible, without sacrificing quality and identity. The vineyards extend within the prestigious Friuli Isonzo DOC, in a privileged geographical position, at the same latitude as renowned winemaking areas such as Burgundy, Cognac, and Oregon. Here, the Mediterranean microclimate typically meets northern climates, creating ideal conditions for viticulture. The soils, shaped over time by the constant changes of the Isonzo River, are gravelly, highly permeable, and well-aerated: characteristics that make cultivation challenging but allow the vines to fully express their qualities. These conditions give rise to a pronounced minerality in the wines, accompanied by a pleasant savory note, also due to the proximity of the sea. The climate is characterized by constant ventilation, with cool easterly winds mitigated by the sea, and significant temperature variations between day and night. This natural balance favors optimal ripening of the grapes, resulting in rich, aromatic, and perfectly balanced flavors. Borgo dei Vassalli wines thus represent the authentic expression of a unique terroir, combining freshness, elegance, and extraordinary drinkability.

Sauvignon Blanc DOC Friuli is obtained from grapes processed with extreme care to preserve their aromatic integrity. Vinification involves immediate crushing and destemming and cold maceration to facilitate the extraction of varietal aromas. This is followed by soft pressing, cooling of the must to 15°C, overnight decanting, and fermentation at a controlled temperature of 18°C ​​​​for approximately 14 days. The wine ages in stainless steel, maintaining its freshness and aromatic intensity.

On the nose, it releases intense aromas of exotic fruit and typical vegetal notes of tomato leaf. On the palate, it is full-bodied, smooth, and inviting, with good structure and a lingering finish. Perfect as an aperitif, it pairs very well with blue and medium-aged cheeses.
