Sauvignon Blanc DOC 2015
Background
Sauvignon Blanc is widely planted throughout the wine world and has been cultivated in Italy for at least two hundred years. It produces a refined, mineral, well-balanced wine with elegant, characteristic aromas, which are more or less pronounced depending on the vintage, soil type and vineyard exposure.
Appellation
Trentino DOC, Italy
Varietal Composition
100% Sauvignon Blanc
Vintage Notes
Vintage 2015 has been characterized by a very dry and unusually warm summer season. To keep the highest standard of quality of the white grapes, the harvest in the Vallagarina territory was quite anticipated. This has allowed the grapes to maintain the desired sugar level with a great balance of acidity in order to preserve the fresh, crisp and fruity characters of the wines, despite this climatic change of the ‘15 season.
Winemaking
The destalked, crushed grapes undergo cold maceration in contact with the skins for around 12 hours before being gently pressed and fermented at controlled temperature. The wine is then left to develop for a short period in stainless steel before being bottled.
Tasting Notes
Characteristic nose of sage and elderflower; dry, delicate, characteristic palate, with a pleasant streak of acidity.
