Christian Patat Friuli Colli Orientali Sauvignon Blanc 2017
About the wine
Our Godfather of Italian reds turns his hand to Sauvignon Blanc
-
Utter the name ‘Christian Patat’ and Angels would be forgiven for instantly thinking of his sell-out Appassimento but he’s no one-trick pony and is just as skilled with white grapes as he is with reds.
- For his Sauvignon Blanc, Christian headed straight to the Fruili Collo Orientali, literally ‘the eastern hills of Fruili’, up in the far north-eastern corner of Italy. The hills are home to some of the regions best vineyards and the one he set his heart on is full of 40-50 year old vines.
- Fresh, fruity and on par with those super popular French and Kiwi Sauvignons. Snap up your bottle today, gather up the family and get your very own taste of ‘la dolce vita’.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Christian Patat
- There are legends, Naked legends, and then there’s Christian Patat. A man who turns everything he touches into liquid gold.
- In his day job as a consultant oenologist, Christian travels all over Italy helping lesser mortals make their wines taste amazing. That means he knows where all the best grapes hide out, and is in the box seat to snaffle them before anyone else can get their cheque book out.
- Having learnt his thang in Burgundy, Priorat and all over Italy, Christian knows exactly how to craft sensational wines, the proof of the pudding in his blockbuster Appassimento, nicknamed the ‘Naked Godfather of Big Reds’. It’s one of our most popular wines of all time and sells out every year!
