Occasional wine note

Most think the best Sauvignon Blancs come from France or California. The Friuli-Venezia Giulia region of northeast Italy produces these wines with the best of them. This one is primarily a Sauvignon Blanc that integrates the local Ribolla Gialla grape along with some Chardonnay and Malvasia in such a fantastic way. Refreshing and vibrant. Lots of ripe pear and citrus fruits, floral notes, and great minerality. What a gem!

What experts say about this wine

100

James Suckling

This has a very fresh and polished character with sliced pears, white nectarines, crushed stones and citrus leaf. Lots of floral undertones, too. Medium- to full-bodied. Sleek textural mouthfeel and steady acidity gives freshness to the fruit and beautifully highlights its mineral backbone.
