WINE GROWING AREA
The Sauvignon grapes ripen on different vineyards in the Upper Adige Valley and on the east and west slopes of Bassa Atesina. The vines grow in the gravelly clay soils that prevail there, at an altitude of 380 – 550 metres.
HARVEST AND YIELD
Harvesting of the sun-ripened Sauvignon grapes takes place in late September until early October. From the handpicked grapes we achieve a yield of 70 hectolitres of wine per hectare.
VINIFICATION
The Sauvignon grapes are harvested in crates of 220 kg and taken straight to the winery. The grapes are lightly crushed, cold macerated for several hours and then fermented at a controlled temperature of 20°C to give this wine its distinct, unmistakeable flavour.
RECCOMENDATION
This Sauvignon is perfect as an aperitif and goes exceptionally well with asparagus, fish and seafood, as well as light dishes with white meat.
