The grape variety has its origins in France, from the famed Loire region. It arrived in the Marca Trevigiana and Veneto area in the mid-1800s and showed itself capable of producing fine wines. Its vines prefer poor, clayey-calcareous soil of alluvial sedimentary origin. It offers abundant growth with compact, medium-sized, cylindrically-shaped bunches of grapes.

It is intensely aromatic with an aroma bursting with the typical scents of sweet pepper, sage and elderberry. It has a dry, elegant and velvety flavor. In addition to these characteristics, the 2008 vintage offers a range of fresh, fruity, hints the result of knowledgeable harvesting at the peak of perfection. SAUVIGNON MOLETTO 2008 is a fine, well-rounded wine that intrigues on the palate for the full range of its aromas and flavors.
