Tasting notes: This Sauvignon from Piedmont surprises us with its liveliness. The colour is a bright straw yellow, with greenish reflections. On the nose, hints of blackcurrant, cut grass and a touch of grapefruit stand out. The entry on the palate is fresh and lively, with well-balanced acidity that brings out the fruity flavours. The finish is long, with a citrus return and a light mineral note. An elegant, refined wine, perfect for fish dishes or to enjoy as a summer aperitif.
