In the glass
Aroma: elderflower, green pepper, lime zest, fresh herbs, white peach
Palate: grapefruit, fresh-cut grass, saline pith, long finish
The reference Collio Sauvignon, vinified in stainless steel since 1968. Elderflower and lime zest aromatics over a saline pith finish, the textbook restrained Friulian style.
What it pairs with
-
Goat cheese salad
Elderflower aromatics handle the fresh chevre; high acidity scrubs the cheese fat. -
Asparagus with hollandaise
Green pepper and grass aromatics echo the spring vegetable; saline pith handles the butter sauce. -
Pan-seared sea bass
Lime zest aromatics lift the white fish; medium body holds the dish without overwhelming.
History
The Collio Sauvignon reference, established in Mario Schiopetto's late-1960s technical revolution at Capriva del Friuli.

Frequently asked about Schiopetto Sauvignon
What does Schiopetto Sauvignon taste like?
Elderflower, green pepper, lime zest, fresh herbs and white peach on the nose; grapefruit, fresh-cut grass, saline pith and a long finish on the palate. Medium-bodied with high acidity.
How does this compare to a Sancerre?
Schiopetto's Sauvignon shares Sancerre's elderflower and grapefruit register but adds the saline minerality of Collio ponca soils. Restrained rather than pungent in the Marlborough idiom.
When should I drink Schiopetto Sauvignon?
Drink between 1 and 6 years from vintage. The wine peaks at year 2 to 4; the elderflower aromatics fade with extended ageing.
