Sauvignon bianco doesn't come from here. And that was never a problem – on the contrary. The variety from the Bordelais has long since found a second home in the hilly locations of the Collio Goriziano: The windy slopes, the marly soils of Eocene origin, the cool nights between the Julian Alps and the Adriatic Sea – all this forms a Sauvignon that has nothing in common with Loire or Nouvelle-Zélande. It's simply Friulian. Mario Schiopetto knew this. He had travelled Europe, learned precision in German cellars, elegance in France and elegance in Capriva del Friuli – and in Capriva del Friuli turned both into something of his own. His Sauvignon bianco was one of his early passions. The Pompiere version that Emilio and Alessandro Rotolo bottle today is the direct, accessible interpretation: hand-picked at the beginning of September, gentle pressing, fermentation in steel at a controlled temperature, a few months on the lees.

Bright straw yellow in the glass with greenish reflections. The nose: kiwi, elderberry, hawthorn, green apple – and that typical hint of burnt pebbles and flint that distinguishes good Sauvignon from merely aromatic Sauvignon. Fresh and round on the palate, with invigorating acidity and a finish that lingers with a planty, mineral flavour. Sauvignon bianco has come to stay. SUPERIORE.DE
