  Crazy Sauvignon from Marche, an explosion of green pepper, banana + an intriguing citric note which makes thi wine perfect for fried/raw fish.
  It's an immediate like it/hate it juice.
  Pimp and funny, I always keep a few bottles of it.

  This is a very nice sauvignon.
  
  On the nose there is citrus and fruitiness. The palate is a beautiful balance of tropical fruits, green capsicum, soft acidity and some minerality. It is very refreshing, and has a moderately long crisp finish that leaves you wanting more.
  
  It's an excellent aperitif wine, but also has the oomph to complement a variety of foods.
  
  At the ~US$15 I paid this is decent QPR. In Europe it is apparently ~US$12 at which price it would be excellent.

  Di colore giallo paglierino con riflessi tendenti al verdognolo.
  Decisamente particolare nel gusto fruttato con una particolarissima e predominante nota di peperone accostata a salvia e geranio.
  Rimane morbido e fresco ma intenso e discretamente persistente.
  Un vino decisamente di personalità.
