Project Description

DENOMINATION OF ORIGIN: Piemonte DOC Sauvignon

GRAPE CONTENT
: 100% Sauvignon Bianco

CULTIVATION TECHNIQUE:
organically grown grapes, cultivated in harmony with the natural environment, without the use of herbicides, chemical fertilizers and other chemical products, certified ICEA

HARVEST AND PRODUCTION
The grapes were hand harvested in September from vines planted in 1987. The grapes are carefully selected and crushed. Aromas and flavours are extracted from the fruit by letting the grapes steep with their skins for 20 hours at low temperatures (7ºC). 90% of the juice is fermented in European oak barriques, adding scent of vanilla and toasty scents, and 10% is fermented in tanks. The wine remains with its fine lees for a period of 7 months to give it body and personality. The blending and bottling of this reserve Sauvignon takes place in April.

POTENTIAL AGEING
Ageing Potential: 7 to 9 years.
