A grape variety from France, used in its land of origin to make world-famous wines, such as Sancerre and Pouilly Fumé. It is an international grape variety, widespread in Australia, Austria, New Zealand and in many other countries.
In Friuli, it is mostly commonly grown in the Colli Orientali (eastern hills) of Friuli, the Collio area and the Grave area. But it is mainly in the hilly area, with its extremely favourable soil and climate conditions that Sauvignon gives rise to excellent wines.
In the Colli Orientali area, this grape variety covers a surface area of 230 hectares. Thanks to the characteristic soils of this area, Sauvignon is able to distinguish itself for its excellent aromatic heritage.
