Attems Cicinis Sauvignon Blanc 2017
Friuli-Venezia Giulia, ItalyThe Cicinis Sauvignon Blanc was harvested partly at the end of August, and partly in mid-September, to allow for different levels of freshness and ripeness to create an aromatic, complex wine. The critical vineyard site is a terraced hill at the foot of Monte Calvario (Podgora) in Collio Goriziano, boasting seabed sandstone formed by rising geological events more than 50 million years ago. The ferment is done gently in a 45/55 split of cement eggs, and barriques and tonneaux, where it ages on its lees until it’s bottled. Expect a herbal start with notes of thyme, nettles, and dried sage that previews a fresh citrus palate. There is intensity and length of flavour that allows this wine to persist into a long finish.
