Product information "INDRA Sauvignon"




Growing area

The grapes for this Sauvignon are sourced from Oltradige’s hillside vineyards, at an altitude ranging from 400 to 500 m above sea level in well aired vineyards. Here, the soil is rich in minerals, the result of glacial moraine soils, based on volcanic porphyry. The influence of the Eastern Alps, give to this wine its intense, characteristic bouquet.

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. Alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature. Aging on the fine lees for 6 months in stainless steel tanks without malolatic fermentation.

MARNA Chardonnay
MARNA Chardonnay

Growing area For this wine we use grapes from selected vineyards, which are situated in the Oltradige at an altitude of 350–450m above sea level. The specific composition of the soil - dominated by poor gravelly and loamy elements rich in limestone - gives the wine its name “Marna”. Winemaking  The grapes are harvested by hand and delivered in small containers. Gentle whole cluster pressing and clarification by natural sedimentation is followed by the alcoholic fermentation, of which 40% takes place in stainless steel tanks and 60% in large oak barrels. The wine ages for 7 months on the fine lees and only a part of it undergoes a malolactic fermentation. Before the wine is released to the market a further bottle ageing takes place.
