Due del Monte Venezia Giulia Sauvignon 2021

Two friends traveling among the suggestive hills of Friuli, in the north-east of Italy, were accidentally struck by a special place, hidden among the last hills that overlook the Adriatic Sea: Mount Quarin. Here the vine is cultivated since ancient times with exceptional results, thanks to the excellent exposure, the temperature range and the uniqueness of its soils.

Their passion for wine, in the early years, materialized in some projects that came to life thanks to the collaboration with some wineries in the area but the desire to found their own winery was very strong. So after a few years they decided to buy a cellar and some plots on Monte Quarin for a total of 8 hectares. From the beginning they decided to call the company Due del Monte due to the history that had accompanied the project. In 2018 a new staff was selected and a new reality began in Collio.

"The 2021 Sauvignon is spicy, with a burst of lime zest, granny smith apples and wild herbs forming its bouquet. This soothes with its juicy acidity as silken textures smooth over the palate with tart orchard fruits and citrus tones. The mouth is left watering through the tension-filled finale as a tart lemon-rind twang puckers the cheeks, and minty herbal tones slowly fade." - 91 Points, Vinous
