Balletto's Sauvignon Blanc comes from sustainably farmed estate vineyards in the cool southern region of the Russian River Valley, where cold nights and warm days create ideal conditions for fresh, expressive white wine. The grapes are handpicked when green and grassy aromas fade, then whole-cluster pressed and fermented in neutral barrels for six months on lees, followed by 100 percent malolactic fermentation to add complexity and texture.

The wine displays graceful aromas of limy citrus, mineral undertones, and classic Sauvignon Blanc earthiness, offering a bright and inviting introduction.

Bright and savory with a distinctive mineral character, this wine balances tart acidity with a generous, surprisingly lush mid-palate, delivering layers of complexity without any sweetness.

Crisp and clean, the wine's driving acidity creates a tense, perfect equilibrium that leaves a savory, refined impression.

This is a pure expression of Sauvignon Blanc—completely dry with zero residual sugar and no compromises in winemaking. Balletto's commitment to estate-grown, estate-bottled production in one of California's coolest regions results in a wine that defies typical Sauvignon Blanc stereotypes, showcasing dark fruit aromatics and savory depth alongside its natural brightness.

Serve this elegant wine well-chilled as an aperitif or alongside fresh seafood, salads, and lighter dishes. Its crisp acidity and mineral-driven profile make it ideal for those seeking a serious, food-friendly white wine that's both complex and refreshingly drinkable.
