I have two words to describe this wine: INSANELY DELICIOUS. Fragrant notes of tangerine and honeysuckle draw you in to this tropical, sassy example of Sauvignon Blanc that provides a mouth-watering burst of honeyed mango, canteloupe, papaya, and pink grapefruit. Brilliant acidity keeps the fruit in check and enlivens the finish on this remarkable northern Italian Sauvignon.
