Tenuta Luisa has farmed 110 hectares in Corona, a hamlet of Mariano del Friuli in the Gorizia province, since 1907. The estate sits squarely in the Friuli Isonzo DOC, where the Bora wind blows down from the Carnic Alps and keeps humidity low enough to eliminate most fungal pressure. That natural air conditioning is why Isonzo whites carry gripping acidity at ABVs that would otherwise feel heavy.

Michele Luisa runs the winery; his brother Davide manages the vineyards with no herbicides, no synthetic chemicals, and indigenous wild herbs composted in place. The Sauvignon ferments about twelve days in stainless steel, then rests six months on fine lees and two more in bottle, which is where the broad, juicy mid-palate comes from. Falstaff gave the 2025 93 points: "very juicy, with a broad, sweeping profile."
