Sauvignon Blanc

Oyster, clams, lobster, crab, prawns, and scallops all make for wonderful Zorzettig Sauvignon Blanc food pairings. Wonderful choice with herb-driven sauces over chicken, tofu, or fish dishes. It also represents a great match for feta or “chèvre” cheeses or paired with herb-driven Asian flavours such as Thai or Vietnamese cuisine.

In Spessa di Cividale, in the Colli Orientali del Friuli, during the early post-war years, the Zorzettig family was one of the few brave ones to invest resources and efforts in the land, the hills of Spessa, characterised by a unique microclimate and terroir. Over the years, the company's expansion also involved the house that is now located inside the company headquarters, a magical place that has become an agritourism resort that breathes centuries of rural history. The property extends over about 120 hectares of vineyards, producing about 800,000 bottles a year, 50% of which are destined for export, and a growing penetration in various markets, from Asia to the United States, from Australia to northern Europe. The company is now firmly in the hands of Annalisa Zorzettig.

Zorzettig Sauvignon Blanc remains in stainless steel, where it is kept in contact with the lees for 5 months while being regularly stirred up. It is then bottled and allowed to settle and refine for one month in the bottle.

Harvest takes place in the middle of September and the grape bunches are carefully selected by hand. The grapes are cold-macerated for 12 hours and fermentation takes place in stainless tanks. All stages are conducted under strict temperature control.
