Villa Russiz Sauvignon 2024

Villa Russiz Sauvignon offers bright citrus flavors with lime and green apple notes, balanced by crisp acidity and mineral undertones. While praised for its refreshing quality and floral complexity, some find occasional bitterness or rough structure. A notable 2019 vintage drew criticism for savory stone mineral and soy sauce characteristics.

Villa Russiz Sauvignon presents a luminous straw-yellow hue, indicative of its vibrant character. The nose is a sophisticated interplay of elderflower, ripe gooseberry, and a whisper of flinty minerality, underscored by a subtle herbal edge. On the palate, this wine reveals a precise structure, with a lively acidity that elegantly frames its core of citrus and white peach flavors. The mid-palate is textured, offering a hint of salinity that enhances its complexity. The finish is long and refined, with a lingering note of fresh-cut grass, positioning this Sauvignon as a quintessential expression of Friuli's terroir.
