2024 Via Alpina - Sauvignon Blanc Friuli (750ml)

A bright, palate-cleaning Italian white that captures the alpine-meets-coastal character of Friuli in every sip. The 2024 bottling from Via Alpina highlights the distinct terroir of northeastern Italy, where cool mountain air and Adratic coastal winds preserve vibrant acidity while building complex mineral undertones. As a recent vintage, this Sauvignon Blanc delivers immediate freshness alongside reliable structural balance, meaning it reaches drinking readiness early without losing grip or clarity.

Expect a straightforward aromatic profile led by green apple, lime zest, and wet slate, followed by a linear, saline finish that keeps each pour feeling light yet defined. The wine bypasses oak contact entirely, allowing the natural fruit expression and subtle herbaceous markers to remain unmasked. Serve chilled at 45–50°F (7–10°C) to stabilize these volatile aromatics until the first pour.

The sharp acid backbone and quiet grassy notes make this bottling highly compatible with shellfish, crudo-style preparations, herbed goat cheese, and grill-charred zucchini or snap peas. The standard 750ml format integrates neatly into conventional wine racks and scales efficiently for sharing across casual dinner tables or summer picnics.
