Zorzettig Sauvignon 2024

Zorzettig Sauvignon 2024 is a vibrant expression of Sauvignon Blanc from the hills of Friuli-Venezia Giulia, one of Italy’s most esteemed white wine regions. Here, this grape of French origin finds an ideal home, delivering a wine that balances aromatic intensity with precision and elegance. The 2024 vintage showcases the hallmark Friulian style: complex, impeccably balanced, and built for both immediate pleasure and short- to mid-term cellaring.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, Zorzettig Sauvignon 2024 displays a bright, pale straw-yellow color with subtle green reflections, signaling its youthful freshness. The nose is immediately expressive and layered, with lifted aromas of citrus zest, green apple, and white peach intertwined with classic Sauvignon notes of fresh-cut grass, tomato leaf, and elderflower. Hints of sage, wild herbs and a delicate mineral streak add further complexity. On the palate, the wine is crisp and precise, with a linear, refreshing acidity that carries flavors of lemon, grapefruit, and green plum, supported by nuances of gooseberry and fennel. The texture is clean and medium-bodied, with a subtle, saline minerality and a pleasantly lingering, slightly herbal finish. While designed to be enjoyed in its youth for maximum aromatic vibrancy, this Sauvignon from the Friulian hills has the structure and balance to evolve gracefully for 3–5 years, gaining softer edges and more nuanced tertiary notes over time.

Production
The grapes for Zorzettig Sauvignon 2024 are sourced from hillside vineyards in Friuli-Venezia Giulia, where cool breezes and significant day-night temperature swings help preserve acidity and aromatic definition. The soils, rich in marl and sandstone (locally known as ‘ponca’), contribute both minerality and complexity to the finished wine. Harvest is typically carried out by hand to ensure careful selection of healthy, optimally ripe clusters. In the cellar, gentle pressing and cool-temperature fermentation in stainless steel tanks help capture the grape’s delicate aromatics and safeguard freshness. The wine then rests on fine lees for a period, enhancing texture, aromatic complexity, and overall balance before bottling.

Food & Serving
Zorzettig Sauvignon 2024 is a versatile partner at the table, particularly suited to light, fresh dishes. It pairs beautifully with shellfish, oysters, grilled prawns, and delicate white fish, as well as vegetable-based cuisine such as asparagus dishes, goat cheese salads, and herb-driven starters. It also complements sushi, ceviche, and lighter risottos with spring vegetables. Serve well-chilled at around 8–10°C (46–50°F) to highlight its acidity and aromatics. Decanting is generally not necessary; simply open the bottle shortly before serving to enjoy its vibrant, youthful freshness at its best.
