The 2015 Sauvignon offers a rare glimpse of this fragrant grape executed in a sophisticated style with exacting winemaking techniques. The wine undergoes 12 days of skin maceration during fermentation, followed by one year of aging in Slavonian botte. There's no mistaking that intensity, depth and the slightly oxidative winemaking approach. It produces textural richness and ripe fruit flavors of apricot, dried tangerine, papaya and pineapple. The wine unfolds evenly over the palate thanks to its mid-weight consistency. Only 4,000 bottles were produced. This wine should continue its evolution over the next 5 years.

The 2001 Sauvignon, with aromas of pink grapefruit, sweet peppers, and green figs offers vibrant, focused, medium-weight flavors given additional freshness by the mineral notes on the close. Importer: Domaine Select, New York, NY; tel. (212) 398-5871

This outstanding Sauvignon Blanc from northeastern Italy emerges from hillside vineyards planted in a cold terroir. More Bordeaux-like than many Friuli Sauvignons, aromas of minerals, figs, dried herbs, and melony fruit are offered in an intense, medium-bodied, persistent style. As the wine sits in the glass, hints of white peaches also emerge. This impressive, pure Sauvignon was fashioned under the guidance of oenologist Roberto Cipresso.

The unfiltered 1999 Sauvignon was aged for 12 months in 100% new French oak. Remarkably, the oak provides only a subtle flavor component to the wine's intense fruit character. It is a serious Sauvignon, with superb purity, medium to full body, and gorgeous honeyed fig/melony fruit revealing a touch of spice. Its glycerin, rich fruit, elegance, and intensity make for a remarkable Sauvignon. Importer: Domaine Select Wine Estates, New York, NY; tel. (212) 398-5871
