100% Sauvignon Blanc from the Dolimiti Alps, in the municipality of Altavalle at 1975’ elevation. The tiny vineyard (under 1 acre) has soil of volcanic origin, is particularly dry, draining and rich in minerals which favor the “smoky” component of the wine. Hand harvested, soft pressed, fermented with native yeasts in steel and lees agedfor about 8 months in French oak second and third passage “tonnaux.” 12.5% alcohol. If you like Sancerre, give this a try! The wine has a delicate bouquet of elderflower, lychee, mango and exotic fruit in general. Drinkable, fresh, and thirst-quenching, it tasted like it came straight out of an alpine mountain stream. Producers Michele and Mauro Nardin are in their early thirties!
