Sauvignonasse, Imperio De Sentidos 2009, Mendoza
Grapes:100% Sauvignonasse
From: Argentina, Mendoza
Description:
There’ some lime and pineapple going on in the nose here together with fresh notes of wildflower, cedar, baking spice, and white fruit.
Fact:
Imperio de Sentidos translates as Empire of the Senses. The Sauvignonasse grape is also known as Sauvignon Vert and Fruilano – don’t be surprised if this wine reminds you a bit of a North Italian Friuli from around the Venice area. This is where the grape is most widely planted. In Chile and Argentina it is fast being replaced with Sauvignon Blanc.
Food Pairing:
This wine makes me want to have seafood or pasta – it has a enough body to pair nicely with the oysters and shrimp/fishTacos!
