The 2021 Ronco del Gnemiz Salici Sauvignon Blanc displays a bright golden hue and a nuanced, expressive character that reflects its Colli Orientali origins. The nose reveals ripe yellow stone fruit, crisp apple, and fresh herbal notes, underscored by a slate-like minerality that speaks to the vineyard’s soils. On the palate, the wine is fresh and well-balanced, with juicy fruit framed by lively acidity and a subtle saline thread that adds structure and lift. Layers of citrus and herbaceous nuance unfold through the mid-palate, culminating in a long, harmonious finish that combines intensity with elegance — a Sauvignon Blanc that is distinctly Friulian yet remarkably approachable.
