The 2006 Langhe Sauvignon Bricco Rovella is particularly successful in this vintage. The wine’s hallmark notes of super-ripe peaches, apricots, smoke, minerals and flowers all emerge in this round, ripe Sauvignon. The French oak helps give the wine its volume and breadth, but the toast level seems to have come down, giving the wine a pure, lush expression of this variety through the lens of Monforte terroir. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2014. Importer: Montecastelli Selections, New York, NY; tel. (212) 414-4898
