Tenuta San Leonardo Vette Sauvignon Blanc IGT 2022

The 100% Sauvignon Blanc of Tenuta San Leonardo is a fragrant and lively white wine that always remains true to the varietal character of the grape. The vineyards lie beneath snow-capped mountains and rock formations carved by glaciers. Vette impressively reflects the sharpness and brilliant intensity of the panoramic terrain that has noticeably shaped it. On the nose, it is reminiscent of exotic fruits and passion fruit; on the palate, there is well-integrated acidity and a subtle mineral component. A fresh, juicy finish rounds off the wonderful drinking experience.
