The 2012 Sauvignon Vulcaia Fumé is executed in a smokey style that shows full-bodied intensity and a saturated off-gold color. The bouquet boasts thick lines and deep intensity with honeysuckle, acacia honey, toasted almond, apricot and candied orange peel. This is a truly delightful expression of Sauvignon Blanc from one of Soave's leading producers. Sweet fruit flavors and rich creaminess flood the finish. This wine has the substance to age two or three more years. You might also want to note the 15% alcohol that definitely peeps through although the heat is well-balanced by the roundness of the fruit. It sees six months in barrique of which 30% is high toast new oak.
