A pharmacist who inherited his family's vineyard at twenty-three and taught himself to make wine by learning French to read Champagnol's foundational texts on viticulture. Nicola Manferrari's unlikely origin story produced one of Italy's most serious white wine estates. Over three decades, Borgo del Tiglio in Collio Goriziano has become a benchmark for complex, age-worthy whites from Friuli-Venezia Giulia—where the Julian Alps meet the Adriatic on hills of marl, sand, and clay that produce some of Italy's finest Sauvignon Blanc. The Dark Label (Etichetta Scura) is the top selection, reserved for Manferrari's most meticulous bottlings. One hundred percent Sauvignon Blanc, manually harvested, delicately pressed, malolactic fermentation, then nine months in 250-liter oak barrels. The result is layered and textural rather than simply aromatic—herbs, citrus, vanilla, and toffee from thoughtful oak integration at a full-bodied fifteen percent alcohol. This is not Loire Sauvignon; this is something entirely its own.

"The 2021 Sauvignon Dark Label is wickedly spicy, boasting a complex blend of ground ginger, lemon zest, incense and sage. Silky in feel yet almost salty in nature, it's perfumed and zesty within, with citrus-kissed orchard fruits and a pepper note toward the close. The 2021 finishes savory and long with a vivid note of Granny Smith apple that lingers on and on. The Sauvignon benefitted greatly from the extended harvest in 2021, spending two weeks longer on the vine than usual. Wow." —Eric Guido

More about Borgo del Tiglio

Nicola Manferrari came from a family of pharmacists in Gorizia, but when his father died in 1981 he inherited a few hectares of vines in Brazzano, in Collio, and found his calling. Self-taught, he learned French to read the viticulture classics and studied in Bordeaux, Burgundy and Champagne. More than forty years on, Borgo del Tiglio is one of Friuli's trailblazers, making brilliant, saline whites. The Ronco della Chiesa Friulano comes from vines at least 70 years old. Elevation through restraint.
