The wine shows a lush, ripe fruit character with bright acidity and medium body, revealing aromas of tomato leaf, kiwi, and verbena, with flavors of white grapefruit, bread crust, mint, and lime in a long, savory finish.
James Suckling - July 18, 2025 "A clean and crisp white wine featuring fresh apples, lemon zest and subtle hints of fine herbs on the nose. Medium-bodied with lively acidity and a zesty, mineral finish."
Attems Cicinis 2022
Collio DOC
December 11, 2025 - Cicinis Sauvignon Blanc is a single-vineyard expression from the foot of Monte Calvario, showcasing the ancient Ponca soils of Collio Goriziano.

The result is a wine of low alcohol, vibrant acidity, and layered texture, offering aromas of citrus, papaya, and sage, with palate notes of vanilla, moka, jasmine, and a finish of lime and white blackberry.
