Details of the location

The vineyards are located on a southeast facing, sun-drenched slope at 450 to 500 meters above sea level. During the ripening period, cool nights ensure excellent fruit development and acidity preservation. The soil consists of sandy, loamy marl resting on primary rocks such as porphyry and granite.

From grape to wine

An 8-hour cold maceration is preceded by pressing and natural must clarification. This is followed by slow fermentation at a controlled temperature of 18 °C, with 80 % of the wine being fermented in stainless steel and 20 % in large wooden barrels. After fermentation, the wine ages for 6 months on the fine lees.

The wine in the glass

− light, straw-yellow color
− elderberry, cassis, and exotic fruit on the nose, with subtle gooseberry overtones
− fruit also present on the palate, sweet – sour, good length with a fruit-dominated finish

The perfect accompaniment

Sauvignon Stern pairs well with asparagus dishes, light pasta creations, grilled vegetables, and fish dishes. It is also an excellent choice as an aperitif.

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.
