The estate’s 2007 Thilion is equal parts Torbato and Sauvignon that spends four months in French oak. This is another beautiful wine loaded with personality. The Sauvignon is mostly felt in the wine’s floral, minty aromas, while the oak adds an extra dimension of richness and volume while keeping varietal expression intact. This richly-textured white is another outstanding effort from Sella e Mosca. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2011. Importer: Palm Bay International, Boca Raton, FL; tel. (561) 362-9642
