The 1997 Vulcaia Fume dei Veneto is impressive (100% Sauvignon Blanc). Light golden-colored, with an exotic nose of candied melons, peaches, spice, and rich fruit, this full-bodied, concentrated, layered wine is one of the finest dry Sauvignon Blancs ever produced. It was bottled without filtration, and achieved 13.5% natural alcohol. The consultant for this wine is Roberto Cipresso.
