Nice S. Blanc more Sancerre like which I prefer. Some gooseberry emerges with air and warming. Plenty of acidity and salinity. Long finish with pith. Yum!

Unusual but nice well crafted expression of Sauvignon Blanc. Wine had good body for an Italian white, medium acidity, can stand up to poultry. Picked up some tree fruit flavor. Like this more than most Gavi's I've had. QPR is questionable though at $40

Drank well over two nights from PnP through the last glass. Perfectly ripe fruit, excellent transmission of the varietal, nice acidity and minerality, but the edges are very smooth.

This was a very pleasant surprise. I wasn't aware that Fontodi made any white wines. Good acidity, without being bracing. Quite distinct. Clearly different from any Loire, CA, NZ or other SBs. Went well with white fish. Fairly muted nose. Long finish.

Needs 15+ minutes to open up. Benchmark Sauvignon Blanc, perhaps.
