A fairly intense straw-yellow, vibrant and luminous, greets the eye. This vivacious appearance faithfully presages an ultra-fragrant succession of wild herbs and garden vegetables on the nose, in particular sage, rosemary, thyme, and marjoram; these slowly yield to sweeter notes of lemon verbena, basil, and elderflower blossom, creating an aromatic verticality that is impressively elegant. Further development of the bouquet brings to the fore impressions of crisp citrus and fresh fruit, which meld together to heighten and enrich the wine’s aromatic character.  The palate opens to a vigorous minerality flanked by a luscious mosaic of peach, apricot, cherry plum, and bell pepper.

2024 Data Sheet

 

The Estate

Rodaro is a family-owned winery located in the Colli Orientali del Friuli, one of Italy’s premier regions for aromatic white wines. The estate focuses on expressing the unique microclimate and hillside vineyards that benefit from Alpine and Adriatic influences. Their Sauvignon Blanc reflects both varietal intensity and regional elegance.

Wine Making

Grapes are sourced from hillside vineyards where warm days and cool nights preserve acidity and aromatic intensity. Fermentation is carried out in temperature-controlled stainless steel to maintain freshness and varietal character. The wine is aged briefly on lees to enhance texture. The approach emphasizes purity, balance, and regional typicity.

Food Suggestions

This Sauvignon Blanc pairs beautifully with seafood, particularly shellfish and grilled fish. It also complements goat cheese, salads, and herb-driven dishes. A strong option for fresh, aromatic white wine programs and by-the-glass offerings.
