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.

For the vinification of this wine, 30/40% of the grapes are left to dry in wooden boxes for over a month. The remaining grapes are left on the vine and are then harvested when overripe, when the berries begin to brown and dehydrate naturally. The grapes are destemmed and the must is left in contact with the skins for 24-28 hours at a temperature of 12°C to allow the wine to accentuate its varietal characteristics and to acquire the golden yellow-amber color typical of this vine . Aging takes place for 60% for 6 months in steel tanks, 40% for 6 months in 300-litre oak barrels and ends with 2-4 months in the bottle.

A great wine of the Friulian tradition, Sauvignon, rediscovers its origins in this "Genesis" DOC, a product that conquers nose and smell after a few moments, and which amazes for its excellent evolutionary potential. The grapes, grown in soils rich in limestone and sandstone, come from a single vineyard parcel, whose vines are around forty years old. A bottle with which the Valentino Butussi company raises the bar decisively, proposing to tell the terroir of the Colli Orientali del Friuli with the excellence of limited production, where quality reaches truly remarkable peaks. Just under two thousand bottles for a label that cannot be missing in the cellar of every enthusiast.

Straw yellow in colour, it has an intense aroma of green pepper, tomato leaves, passion fruit and peach. It is a wine with a fresh, lively, harmonious and velvety flavour.

Harvest The harvest is hand-picked when the grapes reach optimal ripeness and takes place in several stages from the first to the second ten days of October. Vinification The grapes are destemmed trying to keep the berry whole as much as possible and thus sending it into the barrel. Pumping over is then done until the desired color and tannins are reached and finally it is separated from the skins. Refinement before the bottle: Matured in precious wood for 14 months and finishes the maturation with a further 4 months in steel barrels Bottle refinement: 7 months
