Sancerre

Sancerre AOC is one of the most famous appellations in the Loire Valley. The territory extends over the hilly area on the right bank of the river, facing Poully-Fumé. A splendid hilly area with rather steep slopes, which covers a total of about 2800 hectares. The soils are made up of precious white soils, characterized by the presence of calcareous marl from cailloutes and Graviottes. The cool and breezy climate, but always mitigated by the presence of the Loire, is perfect for quality viticulture.

The most cultivated grape variety is Sauvignon Blanc, but there are also some Pinot Noir vineyards destined for the production of red and rosé wines. The wines of the Sancerre AOC appellation are also expressions of the terroir and bring the differences of the soils of the various areas into the glass. Those coming from vineyards cultivated on white lands, when young, have rich aromas, which are refined and become more elegant with time. The wines that come from areas characterized by caillottes and Graviottes are instead more subtle and delicate, always endowed with great freshness. In general they are considered among the best Sauvignon Blanc ever.
