More questions
Dolfo's Sauvignon Blanc is a white wine that captivates with its liveliness and freshness, promising a rejuvenating taste experience. Originating from a renowned wine-producing region, this wine stands out due to the careful selection of Sauvignon Blanc grapes, known for their robustness and versatility.
With its straw yellow color touched by greenish hues, Dolfo's Sauvignon Blanc offers an intensely rich aromatic bouquet, marked by notes of tropical fruits such as passion fruit and mango, interspersed with herbaceous hints and a light floral touch of elderflower. The sense of smell is thus seduced by a complexity that heralds an equally fascinating taste experience.
On the palate, the liveliness of the acidity is perfectly balanced with a medium body that leads to a very pleasant drinking experience. The fruity notes blend with a refined minerality, typical of the terroir of origin, which gives the wine a distinctive character and significant taste persistence. The experience concludes with a clean and refreshing finish that invites another sip.
This Sauvignon Blanc is ideal as an aperitif, but it also pairs beautifully with fish dishes, seafood, and light salads. Its freshness makes it a perfect companion for a summer day, but its complexity is also suitable for more formal occasions.
The excellence of this wine is evident both immediately and in its aging potential, making it an excellent choice for wine lovers who appreciate sophistication and elegance.

The story
The winery bears the family nickname "Dolfo," and the estate's history is linked to the Skočaj family. The modern approach to production was established at the end of the 20th century, when wines labeled DOLFO first appeared on the market; the official page notes the appearance of DOLFO‑labelled bottles in 1989. Over the years the estate has expanded its vineyards and winemaking facilities in the Brda/Ceglo area.
Production philosophy
It favors manual vineyard care and cultivation practices that emphasize territorial quality; at the same time production is described as conventional, using natural organic fertilizers and paying careful attention to soil management and exposure.
Terroir and vineyards
It is located in Ceglo, in the Goriška Brda area, with vineyards that extend partly into Slovenia and partly into Italy. The local soils are characterized by the so-called "opoka", a calcareous/clayey sedimentary formation that contributes to the wines' sapidity; the vineyards are planted on terraces with sunny exposures and elevations in the area ranging from approximately 80 to 200 meters.
Awards and recognition
Positive evaluations in specialized publications: for example, scores of up to approximately 91–92 points for some vintages in trade magazines and industry portals.
