How to serve it
Tasting notes
Straw yellow with greenish highlights. An intense, exuberant nose of passion fruit, banana, melon and a spicy edge of elderflower. The palate is well structured and velvety, with lively acidity cutting through the ripe tropical fruit, and a long finish on citrus and white pepper.
About this wine
Sun Goddess is a range born in the Fantinel family's vineyards in Friuli-Venezia Giulia, at the foot of the Dolomites in north-eastern Italy. The fruit grows on gravelly, south-facing plots around Tauriano di Spilimbergo and is picked by hand in early September.
The Sauvignon Blanc is fermented and raised entirely in temperature-controlled stainless steel, with no oak, so the variety's aromatics stay in the foreground. The result is an unusually tropical reading of Sauvignon rather than the grassy, Loire-style version.
It is a white built for the table: generous on the nose, but kept upright by Friuli's cool nights and the acidity they preserve.
