Südtirol - Alto Adige DOC Quintessenz Sauvignon 2021 Cantina Caldaro

The Quintessenz line includes the excellent production of the Kaltern-Caldaro winery. This Sauvignon comes to life from the hilly vineyards of Pianizza di Sopra, which enjoy a favorable exposure to the east and are located 500 meters above sea level, in a sunny climate characterized by a significant temperature range between the day and overnight during the ripening period.

The Sauvignon Blanc grapes alone are pressed whole in an extremely slow manner. The must obtained undergoes spontaneous fermentation in cask, followed by aging in wood for 10 months with frequent bâtonnage.

Intense straw yellow in color with light green flashes, it begins on the nose with a complex fruity aroma that recalls first black currant, then Golden apple and white peach. Sapid and intriguing on the palate, it closes on an elegant and persistent finish.

Recommended in combination with asparagus and onion soups, it goes well with fish soups. Wonderful as an aperitif.
