Frequently asked about Kante Sauvignon
What does Kante Sauvignon taste like?
Yellow grapefruit, elderflower, white peach and wet stone on the nose; yellow citrus, stone fruit, saline depth and a long mineral close on the palate. Full-bodied with high acidity.
When should I drink Kante Sauvignon?
Drink 3 to 12 years from vintage. The cellar's long-lees discipline gives the wine medium-term cellar capacity.
How is Kante Sauvignon different from other Friulian Sauvignons?
Kante farms on the Carso plateau, where karst rock and bora wind give Sauvignon a saline-mineral spine rather than the aromatic-fruit profile common in the Colli Orientali.
What food pairs with Kante Sauvignon?
Sea bass crudo is the canonical pairing. Triestine scampi alla busara, asparagus risotto, and grilled scampi are equally strong.
