Description

That the special terroir of Valle Isarco in the northern Italian wine region Alto Adige produces unique wines, you can clearly taste in the beautiful Aristos series of the young but renowned wine company Eisacktal. Take the magnificent Sauvignon for example.

The cantina harvests the grapes for this wine in particularly steep and high-altitude vineyards in the wine village of Campodazzo, in the south of Valle Isarco. The altitude varies between 600 and 720 meters and the slope is up to an impossible 50%. The grapes can therefore only be harvested by hand.



Once in the cellar, winemaker Hannes Munter crushes the grapes, lets the skins soak briefly and then presses the grapes gently. After fermentation at controlled temperatures, he lets the wine mature for another ten months with the yeasts, partly in stainless steel tanks, partly in wooden barrels.

It produces a fantastic, richer style of Sauvignon, with a particularly expressive aroma of citrus, nectarine, mandarin, green herbs and brioche. The taste is intense, concentrated and juicy. Drink this beautiful white wine as a nice aperitif or with many dishes at the table.

Drinking at

Lively fresh and juicy white wine to drink as an aperitif or with refined (fish) dishes. Beautiful with asparagus with smoked salmon, salads with fish or soft (goat) cheeses.

Tasting note

Light yellow wine with expressive aromas of Granny Smith, passion fruit, mandarin, brioche and mint. Intense in taste with a nice filling and good freshness. The aftertaste is persistent with notes of toast and almond.

Shelf life

Beautiful now; easy to keep for up to 5 years after harvest.
