Veneto IGT Sauvignon Bianco Fumo 2020 Sandro De Bruno

Bianco Fumo is produced by Sandro De Bruno winery; it is a pure Sauvignon grown on the volcanic soils of Monte Calvarina, at an altitude of 580 meters. The vineyard, facing south, stretches over two hectares and benefits from ideal pedoclimatic conditions to best express the aromatic peculiarities of the grape variety. The basaltic origin soil gives the wine a distinctly mineral character and an intense and elegant personality.

The manual harvest takes place in the third week of September. The grapes undergo cold skin maceration for 12-18 hours in a closed press, followed by gentle pressing under nitrogen saturation. After decanting, the must ferments in steel and matures on noble lees for 12 months with weekly bâtonnage. Subsequently, the wine refines in bottle for at least 4-6 months before being released to the market.

The color is bright straw yellow with greenish reflections. On the nose, it is distinguished by aromatic intensity with notes of Mediterranean herbs, sage, rosemary, thyme, followed by hints of tomato leaf and asparagus. Fruity aromas of passion fruit and fresh citrus alternate with mineral sensations of chalk and evolving hydrocarbons. The taste is vertical, fresh, and savory, with an elegant, clean, and persistent finish.

Excellent throughout the meal, it pairs well with fish-based dishes, vegetables, and aromatic preparations, offering balance and pleasure on every occasion.
