Suòlo 3 Sauvignon Blanc Terre Siciliane IGT 2020 - white wine Duca di Salaparuta

Sauvignon Blanc by Duca di Salaparuta preserves the freshness and acidity characteristic of the grape intact

Elegant and complex white wine with a straw color with greenish reflections, produced from grapes grown on soil number 3 of the Suor Marchesa estate (Riesi).

On the nose the varietal notes blend with the notes of jasmine and white broom. The fruity scents are combined with very delicate spicy notes reminiscent of vanilla and pink pepper.

A full, structured and fresh white wine. Good confirmation of the notes perceived on the nose, with a long persistence on the palate.

The wines of the Soil Line are born from a careful work of agronomic and oenological selection, which starts from the choice of the terroir and the best grapes of the Tenute Duca di Salaparuta, up to the cellar.

The aromatic complexity, the structure and the gustatory elegance of this Sauvignon Blanc come from the fermentation that takes place partly in barriques
