Movia 2025 Sauvignon Vert (Friulano) - Arrives 11/17

For years, Friulano was known as Tokai Friulano (or a similar spelling) in Collio and across the border in Brda. Once it was forbidden to use the word Tokai/Tokaj, Italians went with Friulano, but in Slovenia, this also wasn't allowed. Some producers went with Sauvignonasse, others opted for regional nomenclature. Finally most producers agreed that they should all settle on a name and Sauvignon Vert was chosen! From their lowest altitude vineyard parcel, called the Gredic vineyard, the grapes here do not get too ripe, so acidity is ideal. There are subtle tropical notes on the nose, an obvious nod to the Sauvignon parentage, with freshness and zip. An ideal apero wine! -EL
