The hills of Friuli are especially noted for pure and intense white wines. From Pinot Grigio to Friulano to Sauvignon Blanc and beyond, Friulian whites are celebrated throughout the wine world. The Volpe Pasini Zuc di Volpe Sauvignon shows the depth and precision of the best Friulian whites. Their 2018 vintage is fresh and vibrant. It shows a wonderful combination of peach, grapefruit and green apple fruit scents followed by elements of green herbs, lily and almond. The flavors of mouthwatering citrus, nectarine and fresh green herbs are backed by subtle floral and nut hints. The wine is refreshing, layered, richly textured and is a great match for most any seafood or poultry dish.
