Sauvignon Blanc 2018

90

The 2018 Sauvignon Blanc is slightly tropical in the glass. Sweet papaya, mango and kiwi give way to rich, sweet spice and hints of crushed stone. It’s seductively silky and smooth, given a boost by zesty acids and salty minerals, which usher in ripe stone fruits with building floral tones. Notes of apricot and green melon linger, creating a wonderful finale for this perfectly balanced and enjoyable Sauvignon.

Refosco del Peduncolo Rosso 2017

90

The 2017 attempts to take Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso to a more serious level. It’s intensely perfumed and walks a bit on the wild side, showing peppery florals, sage and mint with tart black berries and a hint of animal musk. Soft textures soothe, with a bump of vibrant acids which creates a juicy expression, as notes of baker’s chocolate and crushed blackberry with a sour citrus twist lingers on.
