Sauvignon - La Cadalora

The Sauvignon from the Trentino-Alto Adige winegrowing region reveals itself in the glass in a bright light yellow. This varietal Italian wine displays wonderfully expressive notes of pear, lemon, mirabelle and apple in the glass. These are joined by hints of other fruits.

This wine impresses with its elegantly dry taste profile. It was bottled with exceptionally little residual sugar. As you would expect from a wine, this Italian naturally delights, despite all its dryness, with the finest balance. Aroma does not necessarily require a lot of sugar. On the palate, this well-balanced white wine is characterized by an immensely fleshy and crisp texture. The finish of this white wine from the Trentino-Alto Adige winegrowing region, more precisely from Trentino DOC, ultimately convinces with a lovely aftertaste. The aftertaste is also accompanied by mineral nuances from the limestone- and clay-dominated soils.

Vinification of the La Cadalora Sauvignon

The basis for this balanced Sauvignon from Italy is grapes from the Sauvignon Blanc variety. The grapes grow under optimal conditions in Trentino-Alto Adige. Here, the vines thrust their roots deep into soils of clay and limestone. After the harvest, the grapes are quickly brought to the press house. There they are selected and gently crushed. This is followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. After fermentation is complete, the Sauvignon can continue to harmonize for several months on the fine lees.

Food pairing for the Sauvignon from La Cadalora
