Südtirol - Alto Adige DOC Sauvignon Vigna Oberkerschbaum 2021 Hofstätter

This Sauvignon represents a selection of the homonymous grapes grown exclusively in the Oberkerschbaum vineyard, located in Pochi di Salorno, one of the most important South Tyrolean crus for Sauvignon. Located at an altitude of 750-800 meters above sea level, it is characterized by a particular microclimate, by soils with a good presence of gravel, clay, limestone and by a very favorable southern exposure for the cultivation of this white grape variety. .

The must obtained from a soft pressing of the grapes remains in contact with the skins to enrich in varietal components. Fermentation follows with temperature control and maturation of 8 months on the fine lees interspersed with delicate weekly bâtonnage.

It reveals itself to the eye with an intense straw yellow color with greenish reflections. The progression of aromas to the nose flows between hints of ripe citrus fruits, primarily grapefruit and bergamot, flint and nettle. The taste is fresh and fine, of remarkable elegance and persistence.

Excellent with fish and shellfish dishes, it also goes well with spicy dishes.
