Camillo Donati 'Il Mio' Sauvignon Emilia Frizzante 2022 750ml

Here are some thoughts from Camillo about the Sauvignon Blanc grape:

As the name suggests, it is of French origin. On our hills, it made its appearance here and there for several centuries, but it was Count Brian who began to plant it intensively on the Parma hills in the 19th century. He'd originally brought the vines from France to plant around the hills of the Felino castle (which he owned at the time). 

Today we can safely agree that Count Brian's intuition was spot on, as the Sauvignon grape immediately demonstrated it could work ideally with our climate and our soil, allowing us to obtain a wonderful wine.

Winemaking: Fermented in stainless steel with natural yeasts and very short skin contact maceration. No temperature control or enhancers. The wine finishes its fermentation in bottle, creating natural carbonation.

-Louis Dressner Selections

In this wine, a familiar and well-known grape becomes incredibly unique and distinguished! Sauvignon Blanc, although typically grown in France, has been grown in Parma for centuries and thrives in the soil. This particular wine has notes of green apple, herbs, and a dash of savoriness from the skin contact.
