Albino Armani Sauvignon Superiore 2020 Dry White Wine is a dry white wine from Tenuta di Sequals in Friuli Grave DOC, northeastern Italy. 🍇 Sauvignon Blanc grows in the stony Magredi landscape below the Carnic Alps, where calcareous gravel helps define the estate’s distinctive setting. The 750ml bottle contains 12.5% alcohol and offers an expressive Italian interpretation of this familiar grape.
🌼 Its aromatic profile brings together elderflower, magnolia, Mediterranean herbs and citrus. Falstaff’s assessment of the 2020 vintage also highlights gooseberry and white peach, followed by a fresh, sustained citrus finish. These notes make it an appealing choice for drinkers who enjoy fragrant whites with a clear herbal character and a refreshing ending.
Albino Armani Sauvignon Superiore 2020 Dry White Wine combines stainless steel and wood maturation. For this vintage, 60% matured on its lees in steel, 35% in 25-hectolitre wooden casks and 5% in previously used barriques. That approach adds another dimension to the fruit while retaining the grape’s recognisable personality.
🍽️ Serve at 6–8°C with oysters, prawns or fish prepared raw, fried or baked. A herb omelette or vegetable quiche offers an alternative for a relaxed lunch. Choose a clean white-wine glass and let the aromas develop as the wine gently warms during the meal.
🏅 Falstaff awarded this vintage 93 points in October 2022. Albino Armani Sauvignon Superiore 2020 suits a seafood dinner, a thoughtful gift or an evening exploring Friuli’s wines. The cork closure and classic bottle presentation complete a wine intended to be enjoyed with good food and company.
