Sauvignon
This is a wine that presents a pleasant interweaving of aromas from elderberry to white peach with hints of grapefruit and passion fruit on the nose. In the mouth the aromas pick up and complement each other with elegance.

Acidity and freshnessApple
The freshness that cleanses the palate: more acidity, a livelier sip.
PersistenceStopwatch
How long the flavours linger after the sip: the length on the palate.
AlcoholWhiskey
The warmth and body of alcohol: the higher it is, the warmer and fuller the wine.
SoftnessHot chocolate
The enveloping roundness on the palate, without edges — soft as hot chocolate.
The producer
La Rajade
"Guarda il calor del sole che si fa vino" Purgatorio XXV, 77 Più di 700 anni fa Dante parlava de LA RAJADE: il raggio di sole che dà la vita e nutre la vite, il cui frutto, con il lavoro dell'uomo, ci darà il vino. Cosa c'è di più straordinario del cerchio della vita che, nel calice, si compie?
La Rajade is a winery based in Dolegna del Collio, the northernmost municipality in the DOC Collio area. More than 7 hectares of vineyards are worked, of which about six are owned, all located in the municipality of Dolegna del Collio. It is run by the young hands of Luca in the vineyard and Denis in the cellar, respectively supported by Federico and Andrea, agronomic and oenological consultants with plurinnal experience in the area. The ponca, terminca excursion typical of the area, altitude and winds make it possible to obtain about 35,000 bottles a year. Whites include Collio Bianco Vino da Uve Autoctone (a blend of Friulano, Malvasia and Ribolla Gialla), "Caprizi" (Collio Bianco Riserva), and varietals Sauvignon, Ribolla Gialla, Friulano and Pinot Grigio (the latter both vinified in white and coppery, with no added sulfites). Four reds: in addition to the indigenous Schioppettino, three Collio DOCs: Merlot Riserva, Cabernet Sauvignon Riserva, and Rosso.
