In Italy, the ever-popular Sauvignon Blanc is simply called Sauvignon. The commercial success of this white wine is closely linked to New Zealand’s Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, beloved by Britons for its refreshing acidity and juicy tropical flavours. While New Zealand has found great success with this characteristic style, Italy offers several distinct styles of Sauvignon wine. This is because Italy boasts a great diversity of soils and climates, from Mediterranean to Alpine.
