The aroma is intense and the olfactory and gustatory impression very strong; these characteristics of the wine are obviously more or less emphasized depending on the terroir in which it is produced, the climate and the method of vinification. The flexibility and ability of these grapes to successfully express the place where they are grown are probably the characteristics that more than any other have contributed to the great growth and spread of Sauvignon Blanc in the world.

Many varieties go well with Sauvignon. It goes well with fish in the first and second courses, white meats, soups, risottos, vegetables, they are also perfect with cheese. Sauvignon is also excellent as an aperitif. Sauvignon   is an ancient French variety, probably originating from the Bordeaux region. Sauvignon requires very good slope positions of the vineyard, good breathability of the soil and higher humidity. Depending on the location of the vineyard, the year and of course the wine production technology, the taste varies significantly.  In more northerly regions and with higher humidity, grassy, ​​nettle, and peppery notes are created in the aroma and taste. With a higher proportion of sun and better ripeness of the grapes, the taste is more fruity, for example gooseberry, kiwi, with hints of lemon. Then, in the case of softer and rounder wines, the flavor is more peach, apricot, nectarine and melon. From overseas, we can mainly encounter notes of tropical fruit.  Sauvingons are mainly aperitif wines, for cold appetizers, with asparagus, with goat cheese. Fuller and more mature wines can also be paired with spicy dishes, strong cheeses such as gorgonzola, or fish sauces.
