Attems Cicinis is a flagship single-vineyard Sauvignon Blanc from Friuli Venezia Giulia, crafted to showcase the grape’s depth and versatility. The wine is fermented partly in oak barrels and partly in concrete vats, followed by extended ageing on the lees to enhance texture and aromatic complexity. Bright citrus and tropical fruit aromas mingle with hints of sage, flint, and delicate spice, leading to a rich yet finely balanced palate with a long, mineral finish. A sophisticated white that reflects both the vineyard’s unique terroir and Attems’ meticulous winemaking.
Single-vineyard Sauvignon Blanc, fermented in oak and concrete with extended lees ageing for richness and complexity.
The vineyard of Cicinis is a terraced hill at the foot of Monte Calvario (Podgora) in Collio Goriziano.
The grapes, harvested at dawn, are pressed whole with the utmost care, and the must thus obtained is left to rest through static decantation for 24 hours. Then follows the alcoholic fermentation which takes place for 50% in egg-shaped concrete tanks, exclusively dedicated to this wine, for 10% in new barriques and for the remaining 40% in second and third passage barriques and tonneaux. These will be the containers in which the Cicinis will refine, enriching itself by resting on its lees, up to the preparation of the wine for bottling. During these 9 months, the wine matures at low temperatures with no malolactic fermentation.
