About the Wine:

Bellanotte Sauvignon is 100% estate grown and is DOC Friuli Isonzo. The average vine age is 30 years with a yield per hectare of about 80 quintals. The soil of this area is calcareous with gravel, at an altitude of 50-100 meters. All Bellanotte wines benefit from a large, temperature fluctuation between day and night ideal for the development of flavor and complexity. After harvest, the grapes go into stainless steel, beginning with temperature-controlled, fermentation in stainless steel tanks, then spending the next five months in stainless. Finally, the wine is held in bottle for 5-6 months before release to develop its further character and complexity. Alcohol content is 13% vol.

The vineyards in the Isonzo river valley feature low calcareous clayey soils and the perfect microclimate, ideal for making unique, full-bodied wines. Friuli Isonzo DOC, Venezia Giulia, and Collio DOC are the regions where their vineyards are present. Sustainable techniques are used so that grapes grow naturally, and the environment is protected. Most of the vineyards are aged between 10 to 20 years, and grapes are harvested between September and October. Friulano, Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon, Gialla, Ribolla, and Traminer are the grapes grown here. The best grapes are taken to the cellar and used to make their distinct red, white, rose, sparkling, and dessert wines. They use pre-fermentation cool maceration to extract the aromatic contents from the grapes. Fermentation under controlled temperatures gives the right taste and aroma to the wines. After fermentation, the wines are aged in wooden barriques to attain the final wine with intense aromatic notes.
