Community Tasting Note

Friday, November 3, 2017 - Once again, the Vigna del Lauro Sauvignon Blanc is a stellar example of what is great about Friulian white wines. Bright fruits on the nose: lime, melon, papaya. Palate shows cool toned acidity and mineral notes leading to a broad but vibrant texture with medium body and a hint of bitter grapefruit on the finish. Just about perfect for the price, I will continue to seek this out as my go to Sauvignon Blanc.
The vintage was tough in Friuli with yields slashed in the springtime, but the smaller, less dense bunches that made it were of high quality. You can taste the concentration here.
