Vigna Del Lauro Sauvignon Blanc Collio DOC

Along with the autochthonous Friulian varietals, Sauvignon Blanc has become one of the most prevalent, and appreciated, white grapes in the region, included in the Collio Bianco blends or vinified “in purezza” (in purity), as in the case of the Vigna del Lauro Sauvignon. Upon tasting, notes of white pepper and green paprika are integrated into a fruity display of crabapples and pears. A refreshingly light to medium body and finely tuned acidity conclude in a satisfying and attractive finish.

International Wine Review (91)- "Pale platinum-yellow. Scents of fresh Italian herbs on the nose with a citrus edge.
