From the manufacturer to your home!
Sauvignon, originally from Bordeaux, is a vine that prefers cultivation methods that do not expose the bunches to direct sunlight, thus avoiding oxidation, which could easily occur due to the presence of photolabile aromas.
The grapes are therefore not “peeled” and retain their typicality.
It was introduced in Agro Pontino, in the province of Latina, after extremely positive feedback, the result of long and accurate research.
GRAPES AND VINIFICATION
Sauvignon 100%.
It is usually harvested in the very first days of September, in order to preserve a good acidity level of the grapes, at the same time ensure good ripening and avoid the appearance of an excessive vegetal scent.
After careful soft pressing and a scrupulous selection of the free-run must, alcoholic fermentation is induced very quickly, in order to preserve all the typical aromatic characteristics of the vine.
Once this phase is completed, the temperature of the new wine is reduced to around 8° C to avoid the start of malolactic fermentation.
The necessary racking and bottling follow, scheduled for January/February.
ORGANOLEPTIC EXAMINATION
Bright straw yellow color; intense and fragrant aroma, with hints of sage and nettle; fresh taste, very mineral of flint, good structure.
SUGGESTED COMBINATIONS
It goes well with seafood risotto or wild herb omelette.

After the earthquake of August 24, 2016, we were forced to completely reorganize our business, facing numerous difficulties. Courage, support and love for our city have allowed us to move forward with the same determination as before. Today our shop is located inside the Il Corso Shopping Center, built temporarily to deal with the emergency. At the same time, we have created a new e-commerce to allow many people throughout Italy to purchase our products. We are still here, as we once were, to represent and promote the original gastronomic tradition of Amatrice.
