TASTING NOTES
Sauvignon Blanc is a semi-aromatic grape, characterized by fruity aromas, vegetal and spicy scents and a decisive freshness. The grapes grow on the warm and sandy soils of the Oltradige and were harvested at the end of September 2021. The soft pressing of the hand-selected grapes was followed by fermentation at a controlled temperature. The refinement of the wine is carried out in steel tanks to keep the freshness of the product intact. The color is straw yellow with greenish reflections. The nose has vegetal notes of tomato leaves, nettle and sage, floral notes of acacia and elderberry flowers, fruity notes of yellow peach and lime, slightly spicy and savory. The taste is fruity with a delicate acidity, good structure and long aftertaste. A perfect wine as an aperitif, accompanied by dishes based on asparagus, fish dishes, light or vegetarian dishes. Ideal for cooking with aromatic herbs. The 2021 harvest was characterized by a slight delay in harvesting, due to an intense cold in spring, which delayed flowering, a very dry June and an extremely cool and rainy month of July. In mid-August the weather stabilized and allowed the full ripening of the bunches which turned out to be a little smaller than normal. The quality of the fruit turned out to be excellent, with an ideal balance between the acidity values, slightly higher this year, and the sugar levels. The young white wines 2021 from South Tyrol are very fruity, pleasantly fresh, with a lively structure and an elegant sensation on the palate.
