A white wine from beautiful Italy. When you think of Italy, you immediately think of wine. Nowhere else in the world is so much wine produced as in this Southern European country. Every province and region has its own beautiful wines. Fruili, located in northeastern Italy, is one of them. This region is the birthplace of this Fornas Sauvignon Blanc. This refreshing white wine is truly unique in the world of Italian wines. While many Italian wines are based on a native grape, this time it's the international Sauvignon Blanc that takes center stage.
The vineyards of Fornas Sauvignon Blanc
The vineyards are located in Fruili, east of Venice. Because it's situated further north, the climate is slightly cooler. This is perfect for growing the Sauvignon Blanc grape. Because the vineyards are relatively close to the Adriatic coast, they also receive the necessary freshness from the sea. This allows the Sauvignon Blanc grapes to ripen optimally. Consequently, the quality of this Fornas Sauvignon Blanc is sky-high.
