Sauvignon Blanc Contessa Lene - Conti Thun

The elegant Sauvignon Blanc Contessa Lene from the house of Conti Thun pours into the glass with a bright pale yellow color. This single-varietal Italian wine reveals wonderfully expressive notes of mirabelle plum, pear, lemon and peach in the glass. These are joined by hints of minerality.

Conti Thun’s Sauvignon Blanc Contessa Lene presents itself to the wine lover pleasantly dry. This white wine never appears rough or austere, as one might expect from a wine of this style. On the palate, the texture of this well-balanced white wine is wonderfully crisp and juicy. On the finish, this wine from the Lombardy wine region delights with a lovely length. Once again, nuances of ripe apple and elderberry emerge.

Vinification of the Sauvignon Blanc Contessa Lene by Conti Thun

This wine clearly focuses on a single grape variety, namely Sauvignon Blanc. Only first-class grape material was harvested for this exceptionally well-balanced varietal wine from Conti Thun. After the harvest, the grapes are brought to the winery as quickly as possible. There they are sorted and gently crushed. Fermentation then takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. After fermentation, the wine matures for several months on the fine lees before it is finally bottled.
