Sauvignon Attems 2025

The Sauvignon of Attems is a fresh, fragrant, and intensely aromatic white wine that well illustrates the typical characteristics of this important French grape variety, cultivated mainly in the Loire Valley. It is the result of the work of a historic Friulian estate, present in the area since the 12th century and which still today represents a solid reference point for enthusiasts. The grape variety has adapted very well to the local pedoclimatic conditions, becoming one of the enological symbols of Friuli. The choice of vinification carried out only in steel and in a very simple way immediately and faithfully returns the rich aromatic palette of Sauvignon Blanc.

The Sauvignon of Attems is the fruit of an important estate that manages 44 hectares of vineyards in a particularly suited area. The Collio Goriziano area is protected to the north by the Prealps and open to the south to the mild influence of the gentle breezes rising from the Adriatic Sea. In these conditions, the vine develops lushly and produces ripe, rich grapes. The Sauvignon Blanc vineyards are located in the area that rises from the Friulian plain towards the first hills surrounding the city of Gorizia, at an altitude of about 60 meters above sea level. In the flatter areas, the soils are of alluvial origin, composed of gravel and pebbles, while ascending towards the hills, the soils are characterized by the presence of Eocene flysch, with sedimentations of calcareous marls and sandstones of ancient marine origin. The harvest is carried out manually between the end of August and the beginning of September. The clusters are gently pressed and after a static decantation of 24-48 hours, the must is sent for fermentation in steel tanks at a temperature of 18-20°C. The wine matures for 4 months on the fine lees in stainless steel tanks.

The Sauvignon proposed by the Attems winery is a wine that transparently expresses the character that the grape variety conveys in these lands. The choice of a processing method that is very respectful of the raw material allows one to appreciate the primary aromas of this fascinating semi-aromatic variety. In appearance, it presents a light straw yellow color with greenish reflections. The olfactory profile is rich and intense, with vegetal notes of broom, tomato leaf, sage, nettle, floral nuances, aromas of citrus, grapefruit, lime zest, and white-fleshed fruit. The entry on the palate is fragrant and satisfying, with good richness and aromatic persistence, leading to a fresh and savory finish.
