SAUVIGNON VERT:
Alternative name for the Tocai Friulano grape of northern Italy. In California the grape known as Sauvignon Vert is probably a Muscadelle varietal clone.
(Redirected from Sauvignon Vert)
Muscadelle is a white wine grape. It has a simple aroma of grape juice and raisins like grapes of the Muscat family of grapes, but it is unrelated.
No relation to the Hungary's Tokaji or Alsace's tokay Pinot gris, tocai friulano, also known as Sauvignon vert or Sauvignonasse, is at its best in the hills of Friuli, where it makes a refreshingly crisp, nutty dry white style.

Also known as, Muscade, Muscadet Doux, Guillan, Muscat Fou, Angelico, Raisinotte, Tokay, Sauvignon Vert.
