Bastianich Sauvignon, a stunning white wine from the Venezia Giulia region, showcases the distinctive character of the Sauvignon grape. This vintage, from 2009, presents a delightful balance of vibrant acidity and a rich, full-bodied mouthfeel, making it exceptionally enjoyable. The enticing notes of fresh citrus, green apple, and fragrant herbs are complemented by a pronounced fruit intensity that dances on the palate. Its crispness harmonizes beautifully with subtle mineral undertones that reflect the unique terroir of the region. The wine is finely crafted, with a dryness that enhances its refreshing qualities, making it an ideal companion for seafood dishes or light salads. Bastianich Sauvignon stands as a testament to the elegance and finesse that Venezia Giulia wines can achieve.

While France takes the crown for the most famous wines styles and grape varieties, Italy is where wine was first perfected. The ancient Greeks called it Oenotria—"land of the vines"—and the Roman Empire advanced grape growing and winemaking to a level of quality we still enjoy today. But behind Italy's best-known wines, such as Chianti, Barolo and prosecco, there's an almost endless diversity of delights awaiting the intrepid explorer. The key to understanding Italian wine is regionality and (of course) food. From the aromatic and sparkling whites of the north to Sicily's rich and spicy reds, Italy offers wine lovers a lifetime of gastronomic treats.
