Lison delle Venezie 2021, Savian, Veneto

The fusion of its characteristic pale yellow colour with soft greenish hues, gives a charming and winning harmony in tones, with a lovely glow. This wine amazes the sense of smell with
its firm, elegant and slightly fruity bouquet, and in the mouth it is soft, velvety, reminiscent of walnut husk.

Today the founder of Savian’s grandson, William Savian, manages what has developed into 42 hectare estate located between the Livenza and Tagliamento Rivers, where the provinces of Venice, Pordenone and Treviso meet. A forward thinking family and business, Savian have always been fully committed to the environment and for this reason, in 1993, they became one of the first certified organic producers in the region. The estate’s calcareous clay soil, rich in shallow carbonate, provides the perfect environment for low- intervention, organic, Cabernet Franc, Pinot Grigio and Lison Classico (Tocai Friulano).

At least for wine, vintage 2020 “will be an excellent vintage” according to how went harvest:
mild temperatures, unbearable heat, adequate water supply, cool nights and the absence of
heavy hailstorms, have assured strength and health to the vines, from budding to harvest.
A good quality of the grapes and in some cases excellent, there is an interesting aromatic
picture for the white varieties and medium-high polyphenolic contents in the red berried
grapes. There are no phytosanitary problems and the quality of the grapes is good. The
sugar content is normal, as is the acidity. Fortunately, the effect of hail was limited and has
not interested our area.
