Collio Sauvignon 2014

Description

Production area
Obtained exclusively from Sauvignon, a French vine cultivated in the region of Sauternes in Bordeaux, introduced into Gorizia in the mid-1800s, where it “achieved superior results to all the other white grapes that had already arrived” said Giovanni Bolle in 1891, “in the most fertile soils, deep with some clay of the hills, Sauvignon had revealed robust vegetation and a constant and regular production.” A local farm brought it to the fair at Trieste in 1888
