Description

Product information "FLORA Sauvignon"




Growing area

The grapes for this wine are carefully selected, all from the gentle hills of Oltradige, at an altitude of 450 - 530 m a.s.l. The vineyards are partly facing west and partly east. Characteristic here are the morain soils with volcanic porphyry rock and a high stone content, which in combination with the elevated altitudes result in a unique wine.

Winemaking

The grapes are picked by hand and placed in small containers to prevent excess pressure on the grapes. Gentle whole cluster pressing and clarification of the must by natural sedimentation. The alcoholic fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature. The wine is aged for 8 months on the fine lees, partially in stainless steel tanks and partially in small oak barrels, without malolatic fermentation.

Tasting notes & food matching

The Sauvignon grape varietal has been cultivated in Alto Adige for more than a century. The intense aroma of nettle and elderflower, as well as the delicate smokiness and minerality on the palate are typical for this wine. “Flora Sauvignon” accompanies delightfully different fish dishes, shellfish and white meats.

FLORA Pinot Noir Riserva

Growing area The grapes for this wine derive from our typical Pinot Noir-growing sites. The carefully selected parcels are particularly suitable due to their geological and microcilmatic characteristic. The vineyards are located at an altitude between 380 and 530 meters a.s.l. and are characterized, on one hand, by Oltradige’s morainic deposits on volcanic porphyry rock, and on the other hand, by Bassa Atesina’s west-facing, loamy limestone soils on the other. Winemaking The grapes are picked by hand and placed in small containers to prevent excess pressure on the grapes. After destemming, the must is filled by gravity into the steel tanks where the alcoholic fermentation takes place (20-22 days). After the malolactic fermentation, the wine is aged for 12 months in barriques (70%) and small wooden barrels of 12 hl. (30%). Finally, the wine is stored for 6 months in large oak barrels, and further 6 months in the bottle. Tasting notes & food matching Ruby red color.
