Score: ✧✧✧✧✭ |
Collio Sauvignon De La Tour shows a brilliant greenish yellow color and
nuances of greenish yellow, very transparent. The nose reveals intense,
clean, pleasing, refined and elegant aromas that start with hints of pear,
peach and elder flower followed by aromas of bell pepper, pineapple,
acacia, broom, sage, apple and plum. The mouth has good correspondence to
the nose, a crisp attack and however balanced by alcohol, good body,
intense flavors, agreeable. The finish is persistent with flavors of pear,
peach and pineapple. Collio Sauvignon De La Tour ages for 10 months in
steel tanks. |

I admit the wine is too expensive, anyway it is a wonderful wine. Sauvignon Blanc is one of my favorite grapes/wine and this one from Italy is truly good. You can tell it is a Sauvignon Blanc as you smell the glass: grape, peach, tropical fruits and wild herbs are just few of the many aromas this wine develops from the glass. The wine is refreshing and lively, good acidity and charming mouthfeel. Very long finish. Recommended.
