Sauvignon
Sauvignon blanc is one of the most popular white grape in many of the world’s wine regions and it gets its name from the French words sauvage (wild) and blanc (white) due to its early origins.
Sauvignon Doc Friuli Grave “Il Tralcetto” is cultivated in our sunny and gravely vineyard located in Codroipo, and it is characterized for it exceptional crispness and freshness, with particular hints of tropical fruits and grass.
