We’ve lengthy been followers of Attems, which is greatest identified for its pinot grigio wines made in Italy’s Venezia area. Cicinis is a bit totally different, a sauvignon blanc wine produced in Collio, within the very most northeast a part of the nation, bordering Slovenia.
The wine challenges expectations of sauvignon blanc, providing a gently creamy physique that’s laced with lemon curd and a contact of grapefruit peel earlier than shifting into notes of vanilla, guava, and a spritz of saline. Hearty and barely savory because it develops, the wine takes on a mildly pastoral high quality, ending on a notice of pine nuts. Pleasant by itself or with seafood.
