And which Sauvignon do you like?
Do you prefer it nimble, salty or full-bodied? We offer three that cater to different tastes. Try it to believe.
Currently the best wines of this kind are produced in Alto Adige and Friuli, in the areas of Collio and Colli Orientali, however there are other regions which can offer very interesting wines. We suggest you three of them, always in the price range under 15 euros.
The first one comes from Trentino and it is produced by one of the best wineries of the region: San Leonardo. It almost seems that the elegance, the kindness in their manners, the ancient courtesy of Carlo and Anselmo Guerrieri Gonzaga end up, who knows how, in their wines. There must be a magic in San Leonardo, a place with an endless history, which once marked, on the Hapsburg side, the border with the Republic of Venice and, therefore, with Italy. Carlo, who knows something about history with his name, tends to minimize, as he is surprised when he is told his wines are extraordinary. The same aristocratic elegance is found in his son Anselmo.
Let's now go to Romagna, land of Albana, where Sauvignon is not the first white wine that comes to mind. Let's move to the province of Rimini, definitely "out of the area" for Sauvignon, however here in San Patrignano a remarkable result is achieved. Founded by Vincenzo Muccioli in 1978, Comunità di San Patrignano is the largest organization in the world for the recovery of drug addicts. A meritorious and very difficult work that goes beyond any other activity. Among the works foreseen for the boys there is also the wine production, which has reached now exceptional quality levels thanks to the (free) consultancy of the oenologists Riccardo Cotarella before and Luca D'Attoma now.
For the third wine we go to an area which is very appreciated for sauvignon: Collio. Cantina Produttori di Cormòns has hundreds of wine producers, who own, all together, almost 400 hectares, and translates all this in good quality wines which can face head on the markets of half of the world. Among the labels it produces it should be mentioned a unicum: Vino della Pace (Wine of Peace), obtained with almost 600 different grapes, cultivated in the area, but coming from all over the world.
