Braulin Sauvignon

Braulin Sauvignon

An engaging little imp that lives in the villages of the mountains of Carnia. Small, dark, quick, lively and omnipresent, his favourite pastime is tangling the cords used to tie hay sheaves. Or any kinds of ropes or string, shoelaces, hair or darning thread. Generally speaking, he doesn’t persist in tormenting those who accept the nuisance philosophically. He’s not dangerous, he’s just terribly irritating.

At the end of fermentation the wine is decanted and left for nine months in concrete vats; the lees are frequently stirred until the wine is bottled.
