The Sauvignon "Borgo Tesis" is a slightly aromatic and pleasantly fresh white wine from the Grave Friulano, aged for a few months in steel. The nose is typically varietal with accents of bell pepper, aromatic herbs, and tropical puffs. The palate is fresh, enveloping, and enticing, with fruity and mineral notes.

The Sauvignon "Borgo Tesis" from the Fantinel winery is a wine that originates in the gravelly lands of Grave in Friuli, an area that has proven to be very suitable for producing great whites. It is a classic Sauvignon, fresh and slightly aromatic, very faithful to the varietal characteristics of the grape. The vinification exclusively in steel preserves the delicately vegetal, floral, and fruity aromas intact, offering a smooth sip and pleasant drinkability. It is an ideal label for those who love Sauvignon in its clear expressive purity, fragrant, elegant, and harmonious.

The white Sauvignon "Borgo Tesis" is part of the line of wines from Fantinel produced in the Grave estate in Friuli, which, together with Collio and the Prosecco area, represents one of the most important territories of the winery. The soils of Grave are predominantly alluvial in nature, rich in pebbles transported and smoothed by the Tagliamento. They are very draining stony soils, suitable for vine cultivation. The mild climate, sheltered to the north by the Alps and influenced by the breezes of the nearby Adriatic Sea, allows for excellent ripening of the grapes with a good aromatic intensity. Sauvignon Blanc has adapted wonderfully to this area and manages to express wines that highlight the most typical varietal characteristics of the grape, with a complex and pleasantly ripe aromatic profile.

The Sauvignon "Borgo Tesis" wine from the famous Friulian winery Fantinel is the result of quality grapes, which are gently pressed. The free-run must ferments in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. Before bottling, the wine matures for several months in steel. It presents a light straw yellow color, with slight greenish reflections. On the nose, it releases a bouquet of intense aromas, with notes of green pepper, tomato leaf, herbal notes, floral nuances, citrus aromas, ripe fruit, and hints of tropical fruit. On the palate, it has a pleasant aromatic quality, opening up to a rich, soft, and generous fruit. The finish has good taste persistence, with a refreshing closure. It is a label of pleasant and easy drinking, showcasing thebest characteristics of young Sauvignon, in its most immediate expression.
