Collio DOC Sauvignon 2018
Description
Sauvignon Ronco del Frassino is perhaps the flagship label, a great manifestation of Friuli's vocation in the production of selected wines, which is expressed in the terraced vineyards located on the sides of the well-known hills of the Collio, the "ronchi", immersed in a wooded landscape with a strong prevalence of ash. Hence the name of the estate: Ronco del Frassino. The colorful and allegorical watercolors on the label tell the light moments of everyday and family life.
Pure Sauvignon, ferments in steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 18 ° C. The maceration process takes place with the first batch of grapes which is subjected to 8 hours of maceration at a temperature of 15-16 °, while the second batch macerates for 15 hours at 8 °. Aging follows, for 6 months, always in steel. In the spring the union of the two lots is carried out which are then filtered. Then the wine is bottled.
It presents itself at the sight of a beautiful straw yellow color and greenish reflections. The nose is intoxicated with intense and peculiar aromas, which remind us of pink grapefruit and exotic fruit, such as mango. The sip is fresh, with excellent structure.
It is the most suitable wine to accompany the aperitif ritual, and harmoniously marries seafood and shellfish.
