Stelvin. Sauvignon Blanc. 20% fermented in new oak. Six months on lees. Fragrant and herbally scented citrus with the richness of lees and the freshness of the variety. Herbal but has notes of orange, too. Smoky, long, sophisticated finish. One of the best European Sauvignon Blancs I have tasted in a long time.
17.5/20 | Jancis Robinson, jancisrobinson.com

From the brilliant 2015 vintage Fontodi's Meriggio (Sauvignon Blanc) is a lovely, refreshing white to drink young. Light golden colour with bright lemon/lime floral aromas and flavours of crisp citrus and blackcurrant. Clean fresh bright mineral on the finish-delightful’

A genuine and characteristc “Terroir”, famous for centuries for its tradition of quality wine cultivation, thanks to a unique combination of high altitude, calcar clayschist soil, lots of light, and a fantastic micro-climate – warm and dry with a marked difference in day and night-time temperatures.
