Fiegl Villa Dugo “Sauvignon Blanc” 2024 from Friuli Isonzo in Friuli‑Venezia Giulia is a racy, mineral Italian sauv blanc that trades overt tropicals for precision and refreshment. It opens with bright citrus, green apple and a whisper of passionfruit, touched by fresh herbs and a chalky, almost saline edge that screams northern Italy.

On the palate it’s dry, light to medium‑bodied and seriously crisp, with lemon, grapefruit and green apple flavours running through a tight, zesty line of acidity. There’s enough fruit weight to avoid feeling skinny, but the finish is all about snap, minerality and that moreish, mouth‑watering tang. It’s a style that will please fans of Sancerre as much as those chasing something a bit cleaner than classic Marlborough.

Fiegl Villa Dugo Sauvignon Blanc 2024 is built for seafood – think oysters, prawns and grilled white fish – but it’s just as happy next to goat’s cheese salad, asparagus, sushi or simple antipasti on a warm evening.
