Opened at least an hour prior to service. 100% Sauvignon Blanc, the 2016 pours bright straw color with medium viscosity. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of fresh tropical and stone fruit: passion fruit, peach, white flowers, minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and steely. I live this with the uovo in camicia. Drink now through 2031.

Sauvignon Blanc, Viognier blend. Enjoyable but not knowing the price point that could change quickly.

Have not seen this bianco before but it is compelling in a rich yet metallic profile. Could spend a night with this and lobster pasta lemon something.
