Sauvignon 2023 - Dimitri Cacovich

Sauvignon - Dimitri Cacovich 

A Sauvignon with a distinctive identity, standing out for an aromatic profile that breaks away from traditional conventions while authentically expressing the character of the terroir. It opens on the nose with notes of unripe fruit and aromatic herbs, accompanied by a pleasant vegetal freshness. On the palate, it is full-bodied, savory, and harmonious, offering a clean, elegant mouthfeel. Its acidity—more restrained than in the producer's other wines—lends it balance, softness, and a pleasant persistence.

Service

It is advisable to serve it at a temperature of 10/12° in tulip goblets. Wine to drink immediately but left a few years in the cellar can give great emotions.

Pairing

Perfect with seafood appetizers, herb risottos, asparagus, white meats, grilled vegetables, fresh cheeses, and shellfish dishes.

Cellar: Dimitri Cacocich

Dimitri Cacovich is a young farmer, winemaker and passionate beekeeper who comes from a family with deep roots in the sector: his father Igor was the pioneer, opening an osmiza in Longera in 2012 at the former house of culture, and Dimitri's great-great-grandfather was already involved in these activities after the First World War. In his own home, Igor renovated a 17th-century cellar located in the basement, creating an ideal environment for production and tasting. Dimitri, on the other hand, decided to make his dream of opening an osmiza come true in the family home, redeveloping the three internal rooms and the small external courtyard, much appreciated by smokers. Currently, the facilities can accommodate around one hundred people. The osmiza opens in spring and autumn/winter, with Dimitri taking care of the management in the colder seasons, while his father takes care of the opening in May. The family vineyards are cultivated in the area called “narjoušna”, characterized by a red earth soil, which also inspired the name of the red blend produced and bottled. This deep-rooted tradition and the careful work of Dimitri and his family represent an example of passion for the territory and its specialties.
