Sauvignon | Grape variety
The originally French grape variety Sauvignon Blanc is also extremely popular in Italy: Sauvignon Blanc provides the basis for characterful and aromatic, dry white wines of the world. The grapes are also in great demand as a component of cuvées, they give any wine additional strength and spice.
Also Sauvignon Bianco from Italy surprises in recent decades and enjoys increasing popularity. The area under cultivation has increased dramatically in the last decade alone, another indication that wine drinkers recognize and appreciate the grape variety's potential. The unmistakable characteristic of this grape variety is the highly aromatic and exceedingly powerful aroma of gooseberries, herbs, grasses and green fruits. Worth mentioning also the typical mineral tone and the supporting acid structure. Due to its structure, this wine is excellent with fish dishes and seafood, as well as asparagus and pasta with cream sauces. In Italy, Sauvignon Blanc produces excellent wines, especially in the northeast, and the examples from Friuli and South Tyrol, with their fine fruity character, are particularly worthy of recommendation. - Gerardo [TS01/23]

Italy is known for its rich wine production and also has a steadily growing production of Sauvignon Blanc, a widely planted white grape variety. Sauvignon Blanc was first grown in Bordeaux, France, but has become established in other wine regions around the world, including Italy.
In Italy, Sauvignon Blanc is grown mainly in the regions of Trentino-Alto Adige and Friuli-Venezia Giulia. Winegrowers take advantage of the different climates and soil types in these regions to produce wines with distinct characteristics. Wines from Trentino-Alto Adige often have a fresh and fruity note with aromas of grass and citrus, while wines from Friuli-Venezia Giulia tend to be more complex and layered with notes of tropical fruits and herbs.
Italian Sauvignon Blanc is also characterized by its good acidity, which gives it a refreshing note. It is a light and drinkable wine that can be drunk as an aperitif or with light dishes. Some of the best Italian Sauvignon Blancs also have a pleasant minerally note caused by the soil and climate in the wine-growing areas.
Overall, Italian Sauvignon Blanc is a wine with a lot of potential that is gaining recognition and popularity among wine lovers. It offers a welcome change from classic Italian white wines and is a great representative of Italian wine production. Whether you are looking for a fresh and fruity wine for summer or a more complex and layered wine for special occasions, Italian Sauvignon Blanc is an excellent choice. - Gerardo [TS01/23]
