Sauvignon Blanc South tyrol Alto Adige

An old French grape variety that is celebrating a renaissance. Only introduced to South Tyrol at the end of the 19th century, today it covers large areas of the east and west-facing slopes along the Val d'Adige Valley. Unique, delicate wines of extraordinary minerality, depth and longevity are obtained from the porphyry and quartz-rich earth.

A fresh and fruity wine for all the senses.
