6 bottles Masut Sauvignon Blanc
£113.90
Regular price £97.00Fine deep yellow with green hints.Its characteristic aroma evokes the tomato’s leaf. Evident notes of sage and elderberry with tropical and citrus fruit echoes. A soft and harmonious white wine, with a pleasant crispness delicate and harmonic on the palate, a pleasant acidity to the finish invites a further taste.
The history of Masùt da Rive’s Pinot Noir began in the mid-1980s, after a trip by Silvano, the patriarch, to the land of France. Silvano then took a decision that today we could define as ground breaking and visionary: against all the commonplaces and widespread prejudices that considered Friuli unsuitable for the cultivation of Pinot Noir, he decided to take a risk and planted the first vines.
Soon, Silvano understood why the attempts made up to that point by the area’s winegrowers had been unsuccessful: Pinot Noir had always been treated like Merlot or Cabernet, the classic generous red varieties that nestled perfectly in Friuli.
Silvano – like a truly successful experimenter – radically changed his attitude, taking care of Pinot Noir, in the vineyard as well as in the cellar, as if it were destined to become a great, great white wine. And why not, Silvano thought to himself…
