Girolamo Dorigo (Italy)

Sauvignon Blanc
White Wine	Score: ✧✧✧✧

The wine shows an intense straw yellow color, very transparent. The nose reveals great personality and elegance, with refined, clean and harmonious aromas, mainly of fruit, such as banana, passion fruit, litchi, pear, grapefruit, hazelnut and vanilla followed by aromas of wood in good evidence however not disturbing the good balance of other aromas. In the mouth is crisp, full bodied, excellent balance, intense and with good correspondence to the nose. The finish is persistent with pleasing and elegant hints of banana, pear and passion fruit as well as hints of wood aromas. A well made wine. Ronc di Juri is fermented in barrique and refined on lees for 12 months.
