Querciolana Camporso Il Sauvignon 2022 – Umbria IGT Bianco

The nose is aromatic, with pronounced and expressive aromas, typical of Sauvignon Blanc (lemon, gooseberry, passion fruit, green apple, grapefruit). Notes of torrefaction are integrated and appear in the second nose (toasted hazelnut, heated wood, a slight hint of vanilla and caramel), associated with a floral bouquet (apple blossom and acacia). The mouth is expressive, filling, ample. We find woodiness in attack (toasted wood, toasted hazelnut, vanilla), complemented by a touch of wax and the fleshiness of stone fruits (apricot, white peach) and exotic fruits (passion fruit, pineapple). The acidity has a medium level, soft, but pleasant. At the end of the palate, we find a good bitterness and structuring tannins of oak. The finish is long and sapid, a bit heady, but savoury and balanced.
