Zorzettig
In Spessa di Cividale, in the Colli Orientali del Friuli, during the early post-war years, the Zorzettig family was one of the few brave ones to invest resources and efforts in the land, the hills of Spessa, characterised by a unique microclimate and terroir. Over the years, the company's expansion also involved the house that is now located inside the company headquarters, a magical place that has become an agritourism resort that breathes centuries of rural history. The property extends over about 120 hectares of vineyards, producing about 800,000 bottles a year, 50% of which are destined for export, and a growing penetration in various markets, from Asia to the United States, from Australia to northern Europe. The company is now firmly in the hands of Annalisa Zorzettig.
Description
Zorzettig Sauvignon Blanc has green, mineral notes of aromatic herbs, tomato vine, acacia flowers, golden apple, pear, peach, white grapefruit and tropical fruit lead the nose. The aromas carry on to a full and harmonious yet crisp tangy palate along with pear and wild herbs.
Food Pairing
Oyster, clams, lobster, crab, prawns, and scallops all make for wonderful Zorzettig Sauvignon Blanc food pairings. Wonderful choice with herb-driven sauces over chicken, tofu, or fish dishes. It also represents a great match for feta or “chèvre” cheeses or paired with herb-driven Asian flavours such as Thai or Vietnamese cuisine.
