Vigna Del Lauro Collio Sauvignon (2024) is a vibrant, highly aromatic Italian white wine produced in the renowned Collio DOC of the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region. Crafted from 100% Sauvignon Blanc grown in the distinctive "ponca" soil (a mix of Eocene marl and sandstone), this wine is fermented entirely in stainless steel and aged on its fine lees. It presents a beautifully distinct Italian counter-style to French Sancerre, emphasizing savory, herbaceous complexity alongside bright northern Italian freshness.

Flavor Profile

• Aroma: An intense and seductive nose combining tropical fruits (passion fruit, melon) with classic green nuances of sage, freshly cut grass, green paprika, and white pepper.
• Palate: Light-to-medium-bodied with a tightly focused, linear structure. It balances a zesty lemon and candied citrus punch with a rich, savory vein of smoke and distinct saline minerality.
• Finish: Refreshing, crisp, and persistent, leaving a clean crunch of orchard fruit and a lingering hint of aromatic herbs.
