The 2009 Sauvignon Peri is a gorgeous, focused wine that adds elements of varietal tomato leaf, sage and mint to a core of ripe, expressive fruit. This beautiful Loire-style Sauvignon deftly balances varietal character, Friulian terroir and gorgeous fruit. Crushed rocks, minerals and saline notes frame the exquisite finish. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2014. This is the most impressive set of wines I have ever tasted from Ronco del Gnemiz and proprietor Serena Palazzolo. Importer: Vignaioli Selections, New York, NY; tel.
