Details of the location
The grapes come from an eastern slope at 500 m above sea level. The soil consists of loamy limestone gravel with porphyry and granite and therefore has a high silicate content.
From grape to wine
The whole grapes are pressed, followed by natural sedimentation to remove impurities. The wine then matures for 11 months in large wooden barrels with continuous bâtonnage. Finally, the wine matures for an additional four months in stainless steel tanks on the fine lees.

The origin of this wine
Sauvignon Blanc was introduced to Alto Adige at the end of the 19th century, together with Sémillon. Unlike Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc successfully established itself in the region and is now an integral part of Alto Adige’s wine landscape.
