Attems Cicinis Sauvignon Blanc 2024
This refined and 'intense' white wine originates from Italy, within the Collio D.O.C. appellation of the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region. Cicinis is considered the flagship of the Attems estate, sourced from a single five-acre vineyard parcel on a terraced hillside at the foot of Monte Calvario. The estate has a long-standing history in the region, with the Attems family having been involved in viticulture since the end of the 19th century; the property is currently owned and managed by the Frescobaldi family. The winery's philosophy emphasizes a deep respect for biodiversity and the unique 'Ponca' soil, a mix of marl and sandstone, which contributes significant structure and minerality to their wines.
Wine Description
Presents an intense and vibrant shade of straw yellow. The sensory profile is highly elegant and refined, featuring a broad bouquet that opens with lively hints of boxwood, bergamot, grapefruit, and sage, intermingled with complex notes of toasted almond and flint. On the palate, the wine makes a 'decisive' entrance, showcasing a vertical and enveloping structure supported by fresh acidity and integrated sapidity. It is characterized by its layering and persistent finish, with aromatics of citrus, papaya, and jasmine. This 100% Sauvignon Blanc typically reaches an ABV of 13% to 13.5% and undergoes a unique maturation process: 40% in egg-shaped cement tanks and 50% in second and third passage oak barrels for seven to nine months to enrich its aromatic bouquet without malolactic fermentation. While the estate operates in an 'unspoiled' natural environment rich in biodiversity, this bottling is not officially certified organic.
