100% Sauvignon Blanc
This Sauvignon grows in Missian in the municipality of Appiano. Loamy and calcareous soils provide the vines with ample minerals. A low yield of 5,000 kg grapes/ha and three different harvest dates are the secret to its complexity. One third was fermented and aged in large wooden casks, giving the wine fullness, complexity and longevity. The rest matured in stainless steel tanks, preserving its freshness, fragrance and pleasant acidity.
