An approach based on the minimum necessary intervention, which allows for the proposal of a genuine wine, capable of transparently interpreting the peculiarities of a great terroir.
The Sauvignon wine is one of the flagship whites of Villa de Puppi, which has an estate divided into two plots, one of 10 hectares near the hilly area of Rosazzo and one of 20 hectares in Moimocco, near Cividale del Friuli, which also houses the winery. The lands are composed of flysch or ponca in Friulano, a stratification of limestone marls and sandstones of ancient marine origin or alluvial pebbles in the flatter areas. All the work in the vineyard, up to the harvest, are carried out with artisanal care. The Sauvignon Blanc is made with two different harvests, one slightly early to preserve freshness and one at full ripeness to obtain rich aromas. After gentle pressing, the must ferments in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperature and the wine then matures for a few months in steel, without undergoing malolactic fermentation.
