Fontodi Meriggio Sauvignon Blanc 2022

Meriggio means "Afternoon" in Italian and this Sauvignon Blanc comes from the south facing vineyards of Fontodi, drenched in afternoon sun. After picking, the grapes were carried to the Fontodi winery and carefully selected on sorting tables. After pressing using a pneumatic press, the grapes were fermented in a combination of stainless-steel vats (60%) and amphora (30%) with the remaining 10% fermented in untoasted tonneaux. No malolactic fermentation took place. The wine remained in stainless steel for six months before release to preserve the freshness and fruit purity of the wine. Silvery lemon yellow in colour, the Fontodi Meriggio Sauvignon Blanc (with 10% Trebbiano) has fresh and grassy perfumes on the nose leading to a lively, lifted palate with a mineral undertone. This wine shows the characteristic high quality of all the Fontodi wines and finishes on a long, elegant note.

Vintage Availability

We endeavour to display accurate and current vintages on all our wines listed on the website; however, from time to time stocks of the vintage listed do become exhausted. If this is the case with your order we will always contact you to recommend another vintage of the same wine, if it is still available. If the vintage of a wine is important to you then please leave a note at checkout advising us of this. 

 

Stock Availability

As we are retail stockists, selling from our Ledston shop as well as online, it makes it difficult for us to show a 'real-time' inventory of our wines and spirits online. As such, very occasionally, a wine may be out of stock that the website has allowed you to order.

To ensure a timely delivery, we are happy to substitute your order with a similar wine of equal or higher value and at no additional cost to you!

If this is not an acceptable solution please advise us in the 'Add A Comment' section at the checkout.
