With the weather we’re having, it seems that summer is here early so I’ve been hunting for crisp white wines for everyone to wash down with all this sunshine. If we’re being completely honest, I set out to find you a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, so I asked a few of my importer buddies if they could help out and send some samples.
Not all of my Sauvignon Blanc samples were from NZ, a few were from the states, one from South Africa, one from Australia and the one I’m offering today– from my secret weapon region for lip-smacking whites: the high altitude vineyards of the snow-capped Dolomite Mountains in the Alto Adige.
You may know Kurtatsch already if you were wise enough to snatch up the Pinot Grigio when we offered it a few weeks back. With high elevations and intense slopes, machine farming at the winery is not possible. Instead, the low yielding vines are harvested by hand – row by row. Kurtatsch’s labor of love is well worth it.
Their 2019 Alto Adige Sauvignon Blanc unsurprisingly comes wrapped with a 91-point score — for those of you who like scores, you don’t really get higher than that for a wine that checks in under $20 on bottle 1. But forget scores, this one just dazzles out of the gates.

91 Points, James Suckling
A flinty and tangy sauvignon with lemons and lime leaves. Some basil. It’s medium-bodied with a solid core of fruit and a fresh finish. Drink now.

If you’ve never heard of Bisci, let’s start here. Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate called Giuseppe Bisci’s Verdicchio “one of the finest I’ve ever tasted,” and noted that “Verdicchio is one of the joys of Italian oenology that rarely gets the respect it deserves, and few producers do it better than Bisci.” A staple at $85/bottle for both French Laundry and Eleven Madison Park. “Verdicchio is one of the joys of Italian oenology that rarely gets the respect it deserves, and few producers do it better than Bisci.” – The Wine Advocate
92 Points (Best Buy), Wine Enthusiast – 90 Points, James Suckling
The winery could never expected their Tuscan Vermentino would become as integral as it has – even 25 years later, it’s still a key piece of the puzzle for Campo Maccione. It’s an unassuming wine with great viscosity and bright, savory flavors that way overdelivers for the price. James Suckling agreed, as did Wine Enthusiast. Suckling gave it a 90 and deemed it “an interesting take on Tuscan Vermentino.” Wine Enthusiast took it up a few notches, attaching a coveted ‘Best Buy’ designate to the wine along with a 92-point review for the wine “with a sophisticated restraint.”
One of the best places to look for great Tuesday nighters are the sandy, limestone-laden hills of Asti. And within Asti, there is no white wine calling card that holds a candle to Moscato. Here it is king. Gianni Doglia naturally farms a tiny estate in the picturesque hamlet of Castagnole Lanze. His Moscato is the product of old vines, vinfied without oak to preserve its incredible fruit. This is serious, high-quality and hand-harvested Moscat, that oozes with sweet tropical fruits and a hint of minerality that stays on your tongue with each sip. This is also the perfect wine for anyone searching for a low alcohol option as well.
We’re nearing the end of what was a flawlessly crafted, high energy coastal Chardonnay release from one of California’s hottest spots. It’s still every bit as bright and refreshing as you could want and it hits with clean, pristine green apple fruits, pears and citrus notes with a hint of that limestone-influenced minerality. It’s a fantastic wine for all seasons, the perfect pair with mixed seafood, summer tomatoes, corn and freshly caught fish.
