Terpin Sauvignon 2016

Terpin Sauvignon 2016 is an enchanting and unconventional expression of Sauvignon Blanc from the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region, meticulously crafted by the renowned Franco Terpin. This wine defies expectations with its extended skin contact, resulting in a deep amber hue that hints at its unique character. The nose is complex and layered, revealing notes of candied orange peel, apricot, wild herbs, and a whisper of exotic spice. On the palate, it’s richly textured and full-bodied, with a finely tuned balance of vibrant acidity and savoury minerality. A lingering finish of dried fruits and a touch of tannin rounds out this captivating wine.

From organically farmed vineyards on the Italian-Slovenian border, near the village of orange-wine fame, Oslavia.
