Wines made from Sauvignon grapes of Vino da Tavola
Discover the best wines made with Sauvignon as a single variety or as a blend of Vino da Tavola.
Rich, aromatic whites with a fuller mouth than Sauvignon Blanc and softer acidity, featuring aromas of yellow peach, melon, passion fruit, ripe citrus and delicate spicy notes. A grey-skinned mutation of Sauvignon Blanc, made as a rare single variety in Bordeaux (Pessac-Léognan, Graves), the Loire and Chile where it is experiencing a fine qualitative revival. Adds roundness to dry Bordeaux blends. French grape.
The freest category of Italian wine, with no grape or zone constraint. All styles: bold reds based on Bordeaux grapes (Cabernet, Merlot), atypical blends, maker's cuvées outside DOC rules. Historic cradle of the "Super Tuscans" in the 1960s-80s (Sassicaia, Tignanello, Ornellaia) before the creation of IGT in 1992. Today dedicated to everyday wines or winemaker experiments.
