Sauvignon Riserva Russiz Superiore 2020

The Sauvignon Riserva Russiz Superiore is a aromatic and enveloping white wine, an elegant expression of one of the most historic wineries in Collio. The name Marco Felluga and Russiz Superiore are well known to wine enthusiasts, and not only, companies capable like few others of honoring a territory with immense vocation, such as Collio Friulano, and especially of significantly increasing its prestige internationally. Today Roberto Felluga, son of Marco, leads both wineries with clear ideas and precise intentions, bottling liquids of great stylistic focus, both regarding the indigenous expressions of the territory and concerning the allochthonous grape varieties that have now become an integral part of the territory. Bottles dedicated to lovers of elegance or to newcomers discovering Italian cornerstones.

The Riserva Sauvignon is obtained from pure grapes of the same grape variety, coming from vineyards located in Capriva in Friuli at an altitude between 80 and 200 meters above sea level. In the vineyard, manual harvesting is carried out with great attention to the ripeness of the grapes, that are harvested with 5% overripe, while in the winery a third of the must is fermented in oak barrels while the remaining part in steel tanks. The liquid ages for three years on its own yeasts and for one year in bottle.

The Russiz Riserva Sauvignon presents itself in the glass with an intense straw-yellow color, edged with golden hues. An intense olfactory impact, ranging from herbaceous hints, such as sage and thyme, to fruity notes of apricot and peach, without neglecting an integrated and delicate mineral undertone. A caressing sip, endowed with beautiful softness and balance, and above all with a particularly persistent finish. An icon of Italian whites.
