Location: Pierpaolo Pecorari and his family have been organically farming in the hills of Micro Terrazzo, in the far north east of Fruili for generations. With near perfect soil the the fortune to be situated in between the alps and the Adriatic Sea, together they make complex wines, extremely pleasant to drink and great when pairing with food.

Vinification: Grapes were harvested the beginning of September, soft pressed and fermented slowly at controlled temperatures in stainless steel. After fermentation completed, the wine remained on its lees for 7-8 months and bottle aged for 3-6 months.

Tasting Notes: Pierpaolo’s Sauvignon is a wonderful juxtaposition of intense fragrances: fruity notes of jazzy orange and zesty lemon that play astonishingly against the wild fennel and tomato leaf. Keep inhaling, this nose has a lot going on. The taste is rich, lively and fresh. The wine is nicely balanced and completely refreshing. Ample amounts of mineral meld with the long finish. This is a perfect wine for entertaining; quite versatile. Serve it as an aperitif as you guest arrive. It’s pairs delightfully with apple walnut salad, a roasted chicken and vegetables. Ordering out? Try it with Chinese egg rolls or tofu in yellow curry sauce.
