A fascinating journey dedicated to Sauvignon, one of the estate's signature grape varieties, through a vertical tasting of four vintages.

The experience begins with the story of the terroir and the Felluga family, followed by a tour of the winemaking facilities. Finally, you reach the evocative tasting room at the top of the winery's tower, which offers a privileged view of the surrounding vineyards.

This is where the tasting comes to life: a journey through time across four different vintages, each capable of expressing the unique characteristics of the season in which it was produced. From the freshest and most vibrant notes of the young vintages to the complexity and depth of the more mature ones, the Sauvignon reveals all its facets.

An engaging and educational experience, designed to understand how climate, harvest, and aging can uniquely influence the expression of the same grape variety.

About the host

Castello di Buttrio was founded in the 1990s, when Marco Felluga purchased these lands. Today it is led by his daughter Alessandra, the fifth generation of winemakers, who has undertaken a careful work of recovery and enhancement of the territory, respecting history and nature. The goal is to produce wines that reflect the identity of the Colli Orientali del Friuli. Alongside ancient vineyards, some dating back to 1933, new rows have been planted to grow native varieties such as Friulano, Ribolla Gialla, Refosco dal peduncolo rosso and Pignolo, together with Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio and Merlot, distributed over 26 hectares of vineyards around the castle, now completely renovated.

The basis of the company philosophy are the meticulous care of the vineyards, respect for nature and the enhancement of the terroir. The Ponca soil (marl and sandstone flysch) gives minerality, freshness and identity to the wines, including the Monblanc blend and the Uve Carate Bianco and Rosso reserves, and Ettaro Sauvignon. The Buttrio hills, famous for their whites, also allow a notable expression of the elegant and persistent reds.

Castello di Buttrio is also hospitality: welcoming rooms and typical cuisine in the Locanda offer guests an authentic experience of Friuli Venezia Giulia.
