Sauvignon Blanc

Description

A blend of two bases from vineyards with different exposure and clones. The bouquet is not overly aromatic but favours greater complexity and elegance with a rich array of citrus and tropical fruits.  Essential flavour, full and tasty, making this a particularly satisfying table wine.

BOTTLE SIZE

Bordeaux-style bottle 0,75 L.

A French-style Sauvignon, which prefers being elegant than too flavoured, with long taste in mouth and long life inside the bottle. For us a great wine must be tasty, pleasant and long-lived and not only flavoured in the nose.
