Tasting notes
The 2019 Friuli Isonzo Sauvignon Blanc Vieris shows lots of bright intensity and deep floral aromas of honeysuckle and star jasmine. The wine shows an exotic side with dried sage, saffron, cumin and sweet passion fruit. This Sauvignon Blanc excels at texture and mouthfeel, two qualities that are more difficult to drum out with this fragrant grape variety. Dusty mineral appears on the close.

The 2019 Sauvignon Blanc Vieris lifts up with a spicy and pungent display of lemon oil, white smoke and wild herbs mixed with ginger and a spritz of tangerine. This keeps the energy remarkably high throughout. Soft textures across the palate are motivated by lime-infused acids, concentrated notes of grapefruit and young kiwi that drench the senses in sour, tropical citrus tension. The finish goes on and on, as the 2019’s massive primary intensity slowly melts away, leaving a lip-smacking, fresh impression. While you can easily enjoy this now for its vivid fruit and mouthwatering personality. It needs time, and the best is truly yet to come.
A gorgeous, opulent sauvignon blanc with lots of ripe fruit that comes across as pineapple and mango. Itâs full and rather oily with lots of fruit and a long, long finish. Spicy and minerally at the end. One of the best sauvignon blancs from Italy. Drink or hold.
