Production Notes
- After meticulously hand-harvesting selected bunches, the grapes undergo gentle destemming and pressing.
- Cryomaceration and alcoholic fermentation at 15°C for 22 days preserve Sauvignon's aromatic profile.
- Maturation in stainless steel tanks for eight months, followed by six months in bottle, refines its character.
Adriano Gigante
"What you sow now, you'll get in the future."
Grandfather Ferruccio, a miller at heart but a farmer by passion, bought a house and vineyard in Rocca Bernarda in 1957, devoted to crafting Friuli white wine. His son Arturo shared stories of their journey, moving from Vencò to Corno di Rosazzo. In the 1980s, Adriano, Arturo’s son, embraced the family legacy, introducing the peacock symbol on their first bottles. Today, Adriano, his wife Giuliana, and cousin Ariedo, a dedicated wine technician, continue Ferruccio's heartfelt vision.
