Leonardo Recanati's Italian heritage lies at the root of his passion for quality winemaking. Grapes for the Sauvignon Blanc are grown in Shomron(Samaria). This coastal plateau enjoys a warm climate and benefits from moderating influences from the Carmel Mountains and Mediterranean Sea. Hand harvested at optimal ripeness, these grapes yield a full-bodied white wine with aromas and flavors redolent of guava, pears and citrus. Fresh hay and bell pepper notes, typical of a fine Sauvignon Blanc, develop and linger in the bouquet. Outstanding when paired with fish, sushi, risotto and grilled vegetables.
