Northern Italy may not be the first place that comes to mind when it comes to Sauvignon Blanc, but it’s been cultivated in regions like Friuli and Alto-Adige since the late 19th century with great success. In fact, Sauvignon played a decisive part in the revival of Italian wine in the mid-1980s. This wine shows an intense nose that's never cloying with subtle notes of tomato leaf, pepper, sage, mown grass, nettle, and spice box. There are hints of yellow and even tropical fruit. The taste is fresh and mineral and does not disappoint expectations. A superb example of Italian Sauvignon Blanc.
