Pighin Terre Di Risano, Grave de Friuli, Italy 2016 Sauvignon Blanc (D.O.C.)

 

 

Pighin Terre Di Risano Grave de Friuli, Italy 2016 Sauvignon Blanc (D.O.C.), $10.19-$22.99, 89 points, was a medium glossy gold color.
Aromas were a subtle array of lemongrass, pear, and stone fruit which adeptly translated onto the palate packaged in a light-plus body reminiscent of Sancerre opposed to Cali or New Zealand styled Sauvignon Blanc; not showing blaring acidity or booming citrus, but delicious nuanced fruit and minerality.
Finished well on a light 13% alcohol garnished with lively ginger.
Paired perfectly with my New England clam chowder.
