Bellanotte Sauvignon is 100% estate grown and is DOC Friuli Isonzo, produced in Farrad'Isonzo (GO).
The average vine age is 30 years with a yield per hectare of about 80 quintals.
The soil of this area is calcareous with gravel, at an altitude of 50-100 meters.
All Bellanotte wines benefit from a large, temperature fluctuation between day and night ideal for the development of flavor and complexity. After harvest, the grapes go into stainless steel, beginning with temperature-controlled, fermentation in stainless steel tanks, then spending the next five months in stainless. Finally, the wine is held in bottle for 5-6 months before release to develop its further character and complexity. Alcohol content is 13% vol.

It opens up to reveal aromas of ripe fruit, a white peach with hints of tropical fruit.In the mouth the wine echoes the nose with an underlying, citrusy character, crisp acidity and perfect balance.
