Mark Shannon, the American cofounder of this winery in the Italian region of Puglia, is best known for his juicy Primitivo red, but this new white may change that. A blend of the local varieties Fiano and Greco di Tufo, it’s light- bodied and vibrant.
2006 Giesen Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc ($13)
From a family-owned company operated by three brothers, this lightly peppery New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc has an evocative herbal aroma and a flavor that recalls ripe ruby-red grapefruit.
2006 Blue Grove Hill Sauvignon Blanc ($17)
This lime-scented South African Sauvignon Blanc is primarily made in stainless steel tanks, but a small percentage of the wine is fermented in new French oak barrels, adding additional richness and depth.
