Attems Sauvignon Blanc

Friuli-Venezia Giulia

Characteristics: A luminous straw yellow color. Emphatic tropical fruit aromas, particularly pineapple, is first to emerge on the nose, along wiith peach, lychee, and subtle scents of spring blossoms and boxwood. The palate is delicate, elegant, annd beautifully balanced, with an appealing, crisp acidity.

The Attems family winemaking lineage dates back nearly a millennium. In 1106, records show that the Bishop of Salisbury gave them the estate for the purpose of cultivating vineyards and making wine. After 900 years of wine production, Attems aligned with the renowned Marchesi de' Frescobaldi, one of Italy's most revered wine families. Douglas Attems and the Frescobaldi family celebrate a legacy of friendship founded during their years as students at the University of Florence. The partnership understands that a wine's quality and personality reflect the land it comes from, and they have pledged to further enhance the vines at Collio.
