The Sauvignon di Livio Felluga is now a wine of tradition. The grape variety, of French origin, was introduced in Friuli during the rule of the Habsburgs, but was further propagated and diffused mainly from the early '900s. The soils are typical of the area, Flysch of marls and sandstones of Eocene origin, also known as "Ponca", the clear trace of the ancient presence of the sea; with a high viticultural vocation, this land is particularly subject to erosion phenomena, so in order to plant the vines on the hillside ledges or terraces, they have often had to be terraced, giving the landscape its characteristic appearance. The harvest of the PLACEHOLDER_WINEDATANAPOE takes place in the first decade of September; the grapes are delicately destemmed and left to macerate for a short period. Subsequently, they are gently pressed and the resulting must is clarified through decanting; the must then ferments at controlled temperature in stainless steel containers. At the end of fermentation, the wine is kept on the lees in stainless steel containers for six months, followed by an additional 2 months in the bottle.
