Tasting Notes: The Gradis'ciutta Sauvignon Collio offers vibrant aromas of white flowers and tropical fruit, notably lychee and pineapple, overlaid with savory notes of sage and green tomato leaf. On the palate, this wine is exceptionally fresh with a pleasingly silky, medium-bodied texture. The juicy fruit core is well-defined by a distinct mineral backbone, leading to a long, generous finish that is both clean and invigorating. It is best enjoyed slightly cool to fully appreciate its depth and balance.
Estate History: The Gradis'ciutta estate is rooted in the Gorizia Hills (Collio) area of Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy, a region renowned for producing high-quality white wines. The winery's philosophy emphasizes a strong connection to the local territory and tradition, focusing on indigenous varieties and sustainable farming practices. Run by Robert Princic, the estate covers about 30 hectares of vineyards across several municipalities within the Collio DOC zone, with a commitment to minimal intervention in both the vineyard and the cellar to allow the unique ponca soil (marl and sandstone flysch) to express itself in the final product.
