About the producer:
Tenuta Ca’Bolani, located in Cervignano del Friuli, is one of Friuli’s most historic and respected estates. Part of the Zonin family’s wine group, it spans over 550 hectares of sustainably farmed vineyards, known for producing expressive wines that capture the purity and elegance of the Friulian terroir.
About the region:
Friuli, in northeastern Italy, is one of the country’s premier regions for white wines. Its proximity to the Adriatic Sea and the Alps creates a unique microclimate—warm days, cool nights, and mineral-rich soils—allowing grapes to ripen slowly and develop aromatic complexity while maintaining crisp acidity.
About the grape variety:
Sauvignon Blanc thrives in Friuli’s cool, breezy conditions. Here it produces wines that are aromatic yet refined, often showing citrus, tropical fruit, and herbal notes balanced by minerality and freshness.
Style and tasting note:
Ca’Bolani Aquilis Sauvignon Friuli 2018 reveals intense aromas of grapefruit, elderflower, and green apple, accented by hints of sage and mineral undertones. The palate is elegant and structured, with vibrant acidity, silky texture, and a long, refined finish that combines freshness with depth.
Trivia:
The name Aquilis pays homage to the nearby ancient Roman city of Aquileia, a historical and cultural landmark of Friuli. The wine embodies the region’s legacy—where ancient heritage and modern craftsmanship meet to produce world-class whites."
