Poggio Alle Gazze has always been a stylistic outlier in Tuscany, comprising a majority of Sauvignon Blanc (72% in 2021) along with 16% Vermentino, 6% Viognier and 6% Verdicchio, vinified and matured in a combination of barrique, stainless steel and concrete. It displays aromas reminiscent of summer flowers waving in the sea breeze, while flint, oyster shell and subtle stone fruits add delightful complexity. Juicy peach, passion fruit, lychee and mango burst forth on a stony, mineral palate, with some sapid green fruits emerging to remind you of its Sauvignon roots. The finish is long, spicy and textural, with some apple, citrus peel and yellow fruits. A superb food wine; try with seafood, creamy pasta dishes, or figs and goats cheese on crusty bread.

Made mostly with Sauvignon Blanc, the 2021 Poggio alle Gazze dell'Ornellaia reveals a luminous and transparent appearance with fresh aromas of passion fruit, citrus and green apple. The wine is very focused in this classic vintage with upfront acidity and pretty mineral notes. Ornellaia is one of the only estates to offer a Sauvignon Blanc in this part of Tuscany. This bottle is especially popular at the many local fish restaurants along the coast.
