  November 28, 2013 - Interesting and impressive take on Sauvignon Blanc, it remind me of a Soave Classico, I agree with Paul S notes.

  October 8, 2012 - WXTP Tasting III (TH's Place): The rarest of things - a Sauvignon Blanc from Piedmont - yet this was very accomplished, one of the best wines of its flight actually. It had a complex nose, showing a nice mélange of rose petals playing against some gentle earthy, slighty spicy notes, and then back-note of sweet white fruited with a twist of the tropical on it. There was also a little touch of nutty oak at the rear. Nice - somewhat like a cross between Bordeaux blanc and a more new world style. The palate was quite serious, coating the mouth in a creamily textured stream of white fruit seasoned with pinpricks of spice, a nice earthiness and a touch of perfumy dried flowers. While it had a nice weight and heft to it, it was also nicely balanced and focused throughout, with fresh acidity leading the wine into an open-knit, freshly fruited finish with suggestions of peach and nectarine. There was a bit of sulphur in there that needs to be worked though and this also had some oak on it and perhaps more extended contact with lees. While that resulted in a rather complex package, it also meant that this and its stablemate from the same house were the two wines that probably needed the most time amongst the Sauvignon Blancs. I liked it though – this is one I would like to try again in 4-5 years.
