Expanding the collection of Sauvignon Blanc with Riva De La Rosa and Les Glories
Paso Robles, CA, May 1, 2024 – Riboli Family Wines, family-owned and operated since 1917, is proud to announce the launch of two new Sauvignon Blancs to their growing portfolio and celebrate International Sauvignon Blanc Day (May 6). Representing both the old and new world, Riboli Family offers six Sauvignon Blancs, including Riva de la Rosa from Italy, Les Glories from France, and our own estate-grown San Simeon from Paso Robles, California.
“The Sauvignon Blanc varietal has been outpacing the overall wine category in sales and we’ve seen tremendous consumer demand for it,” said Steve Riboli, Riboli Family Wines CEO. “These additions to our existing portfolio will expand access to fine wines of exceptional quality from top regions of the world at an attractive price point.”
Hailing from the Northeast part of Italy, the Riva de la Rosa Sauvignon Blanc is from Friuli, where some of the greatest white wines can be found. France’s Loire Valley is Sauvignon Blanc’s spiritual home, and this gorgeous example from Les Glories was cultivated in Southern Touraine, Loire Valley.
All six Sauvignon Blancs have been crafted with the highest quality of grapes, following Riboli Family Wines’ rigorous sustainability standards and resulting in six terroir-driven expressions. The full portfolio of Sauvignon Blanc wines will include:
