Sauvignon 'Praepositus' Alto Adige-Sudtirol DOC Abbazia di Novacella 2020

The Sauvignon 'Praepositus' Alto Adige/Sudtirol DOC produced by the Novacella Abbey is a white characterized by an elegant symphony of sensory suggestions. This white is vinified in purity from Sauvignon grapes grown in the company vineyards of Novacella, a locality located exactly in the center of the Bressanone basin. These are places where the art of making wine cannot be improvised but learned with passion and dedication. With millenary experience, the historic cellar has managed to find the right balance between exposure, climate and soil. The land preserves the memory of the ancient glaciations. Rich in pebbles, gravel and sand, it combines perfectly with the strong temperature variations that dominate these areas. Combined with a wise exposure of the vineyards to the south, these elements forge a grape rich in flavors and moods, characterized by pleasant and ethereal mineral notes. In the cellar, the vinification in white favors the use of steel containers for the rest of the wine. This detail allows to find the rich range of typical varietal characters in a glass of Sauvignon 'Praepositus'. Equipped with a good structure, this wine is perfect to drink immediately but is surprising if left to evolve for 2 or 3 years in the cellar.
