Vagabondo Bianco ('white wanderer' in Italian) is a Sauvignon Blanc from Azucca e Azucco, the pioneering husband-and-wife winery in Toyota City, Aichi Prefecture — Aichi's first modern winery, founded by Daisuke and Azusa Suzaki after training in Tuscany and Sicily. Made entirely from estate-grown Sauvignon Blanc, the wine shows the crisp, zesty entry typical of the variety before softening into a gentler, more rounded finish, with fruit aromatics that continue to open up as the wine warms in the glass.
A rare Japanese Sauvignon Blanc worth seeking out — its crisp opening and soft finish show that Toyota's warm, humid terroir can still produce real varietal tension.
