Carmem Insigne Sauvignon Blanc from the Valle Central is typically characterized by fresh, vibrant flavors and aromas, showcasing classic Sauvignon Blanc characteristics.
Expect aromas of grapefruit, lime, passionfruit, and green bell pepper. On the palate, it's typically crisp and refreshing with high acidity. Some expressions might have subtle herbaceous notes like cut grass or gooseberry. The Valle Central location provides consistent sunshine and warm days that helps develop the fruit, but also benefits from cooling influences that help retain acidity and freshness.

Excellent with goat cheese, asparagus, sushi, and seafood pasta dishes. Avoid overly rich or heavy sauces that can overpower the wine's delicate flavors.
