Sauvignon Blanc Mediævum

Uncategorized

Born on steep, stony slopes beneath the medieval castle of Presule, this is Sauvignon with mountain manners — bright, taut, and irresistibly fresh. Gooseberry, elderflower, and a flash of Alpine herbs leap from the glass, riding crisp Dolomite acidity to a cool, mineral finish. Winemaker Markus Prackwieser bottles the pure energy of the Isarco Valley: high vines, big sun, cold nights. Pour it with mountain cheese, fresh trout, or simply a good view.
