Marco Bonfante SB

Sauvignon Blanc from Piedmont, which the producer says is more delicate than Friulian or Alto Adige styles; elegant and easy to drink.

Tasting notes

Bright straw yellow. Intense fruit with mango, green apple and white flowers. Fresh, delicate, dry and mineral, with good persistence and structure.

Pairs well with

Aperitif and fresh starters; fish, risotto with asparagus, paccheri with artichokes.
