From one of the finest winemakers in Eastern Europe, Aleks Simcic, and sourced from a handful of organic vineyards in the Goriska Brda region of Slovenia. Giocato is an amazing value when you consider where the grapes come from and who is making these wines. Goriska brda is right across the border from the Italian region of Friuli, known for its great white wines. The main soil type is Ponca, a carponate-driven clay full of salts and minerals that lends structure and poise to unoaked whites. Yields for Giocato are remarkably low, at just 1 bottle per plant! All things considered, this wine should sell for well north of $20... We've been selling Giocato for years and somehow both the Sauv Blanc and Pinot Grigio are still two of the best kept secrets in our store!
This Sauvignon Blanc is piercingly clean and bright, with loads of lemony citrus, stone fruit and a great mineral-driven finish. This is not your typical offensively-grapefruit driven New Zealand style Sauv Blanc. It costs less than most of those and has twice the complexity!
