Collio DOC Sauvignon Blanc 'Cicinis' 2021 (750 ml.) Attems
The Sauvignon Blanc Cicinis by Attems originates in the heart of the Collio Friulano, from a 5-hectare cru cultivated on marly soils (ponca) at about 200 meters s.l.m., perfect for enhancing freshness and aromaticity. The microclimate, moderated by the sea and protected by the Julian Alps, promotes a slow and complex maturation. The grapes are harvested by hand, with a portion fermenting in 20 hl oak barrels and the rest in stainless steel, followed by 9 months of aging on the lees, with periodic bâtonnage enriching its structure and depth. In the glass, it appears straw yellow with greenish reflections. On the nose, it offers intense notes of tropical fruit, tomato leaf, sage, and flint. The palate is savory, broad, and elegant, with bright freshness and a long mineral finish. A white of great class, perfect with shellfish, asparagus, or fresh cheeses.

THE WINE
The Sauvignon Blanc Cicinis by Attems is born in the heart of the Collio Friulano, from a 5-hectare cru cultivated on marnosoil (ponca) at about 200 meters s.l.m., perfect for enhancing freshness and aromatics. The microclimate, tempered by the sea and protected by the Julian Alps, favors a slow and complex ripening. The grapes are hand-picked, with part fermented in 20 hl oak barrels and the rest in steel, followed by aging on the lees for 9 months, with periodic bâtonnage that enriches its structure and depth. In the glass, it presents straw yellow with greenish reflections. On the nose, it offers intense notes of tropical fruit, tomato leaf, sage, and flint. The sip is savory, broad, and elegant, with bright freshness and a long mineral finish. A white of great class, perfect with shellfish, asparagus, or fresh cheeses.
THE COMPANY
Attems: a name that evokes the history of wine in Friuli Venezia Giulia. The first document attesting to the ownership of lands suitable for viticulture in Collio by the Attems dynasty dates back to 1106, and the production of Ribolla Gialla and Refosco is recorded in the ledgers of 1764. A millennial tradition that has made this company a reference point in the area and has seen Count Douglas Attems as a protagonist: he deserves credit for founding, in 1964, the Consortium of Collio Wines, the third in chronological order in Italy and the first in Friuli.
The history of Attems thus intertwines with History: from the Patriarchate of Aquileia to the County of Gorizia, from World War I to the present day. Owned by the Frescobaldi family since 2000, Attems has a fascinating past, an established present, and a future of innovation.
Since 2000, Attems has been owned by the Frescobaldi family, which continues to lead it while respecting its unique characteristics.
