Sauvignon Blanc Südtirol DOC - Peter Zemmer

The Sauvignon Blanc Südtirol from Peter Zemmer of Trentino-Alto Adige shows a bright, pale yellow color in the glass. Ideally poured into a white wine glass, this white wine from Italy reveals wonderfully expressive aromas of quince, lemon, lime and morello cherry, rounded off by garrigue, Mediterranean herbs and lovage.

This dry white wine from Peter Zemmer is perfect for wine drinkers who like it absolutely dry. Sauvignon Blanc Südtirol comes very close to this, having been vinified with just 0.5 grams of residual sugar. On the palate, the texture of this well-balanced white wine is wonderfully light. Thanks to its present fruit acidity, Sauvignon Blanc Südtirol appears delightfully fresh and lively on the palate. The finish of this white wine from the Trentino-Alto Adige wine-growing region ultimately delights with a good aftertaste.

Vinification of Sauvignon Blanc Südtirol from Peter Zemmer

This wine clearly focuses on a single grape variety, namely Sauvignon Blanc. Only first-class grape material was used for this exceptionally well-balanced varietal wine from Peter Zemmer. After hand-picking, the grapes are immediately brought to the press house. Here they are selected and gently crushed. Fermentation then takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. Vinification is followed by maturation for several months on the fine lees before the wine is finally bottled.
