This ancient vine is the pride and joy of Friuli, the grapes are harvested manually and differentiated according to maturation with twice-weekly passages and takes place throughout the month of October. For the vinification of this wine, 10% of the harvested grapes are vinified in the classic way, soft pressing, settling and controlled fermentation. The remaining 90% of the grapes are left to dry for over a month, losing about 40% of the weight. The highly concentrated must obtained is fermented in small oak barrels, where it remains until the summer. Then the two wines are blended and aged for another 4 months in steel barrels. The refinement takes 6-8 months in the bottle.

A Riserva with an austere and solemn character, which reaches the qualitative peaks of the entire range created by the Valentino Butussi farm. This "Santuari" is a Cabernet Sauvignon DOC where the balance between taste and aroma makes the sip incisive and expressive, denoting its great evolutionary potential over time. The carefully selected grapes, after harvesting, ferment in oak barrels thanks to the use of indigenous yeasts. Then we move on to the refinement, carried out for two years in oak barrels with a capacity of 300 liters; after bottling, the wine further ages in glass for 12 months. A label that interprets the Colli Orientali del Friuli terroir with a niche production, where excellence and aging capacity go hand in hand, giving us a red wine of great value.
