NEW WORLD VS OLD WORLD SAUVIGNON BLANC

Sauvignon Blanc is one of those grape varieties you simply can’t mistake. Among a lineup of white wines, you can spot it instantly even with your eyes closed. It’s vibrant, aromatic, and always full of energy, whether it comes from the cooler vineyards of Europe or from sunnier corners of the world. In every case, it stands out for its fresh, “green” aromas, its lively acidity, and its remarkable ability to express clearly the climate and soil in which it grows. From crisp, lemony styles to more tropical interpretations, Sauvignon Blanc continues to win over drinkers everywhere and remains one of the most widely planted varieties in the world.

Its name is partly owed to its naturally high productivity, which requires careful control in order to yield grapes of exceptional quality. At the same time, it has proven so adaptable that today it is cultivated across countless regions, in both the Old and the New World.

And this is where things get interesting, because Sauvignon Blanc doesn’t have just one identity it has two entirely different ones. In the Old World, it shows finesse and purity, while in the New World it becomes more aromatic, more intense, more expressive. Two worlds, two philosophies, and one variety that adapts and transforms in truly impressive ways.
