PICOL Sauvignon DOC LIS NERIS 2016 750ml

Sauvignon Blanc is an international grape variety grown in many areas of the world. The two schools (zones) of reference are French; the Loire Valley, which produces
particularly aromatic, savoury and mineral Sauvignons, and the Bordeaux zone, which often blends this variety with Semillon, giving it structure and body. In both cases,
elegance and finesse are characteristic of only the best wines.
The right bank of the Isonzo, with its warm and stony soils, decisive for a superior structure, and a climate favoured in the temperature change by the ventilation of Balkan
origin and by Mediterranean influences due to its proximity to the sea, is a site of great potential for following what can be called 'the Friulian way to Sauvignon Blanc'.
