SAUVIGNON BLANC ARJENT Trentino Doc
DENOMINAZIONE DI ORIGINE PROTETTA
GRAPE VARIETY
The area recognized as classic for the production of typical Trentino wines. Originating from the Gironde, in southern France, Sauvignon Blanc performs best on sunny hillsides above 350 meter, with soils which are rich in gravel.
WINEMAKING
The grapes are picked when the berries begin to turn green/gold, the point at which sugar concentration and aromas are in optimum harmony. Once the berries have been de-stemmed and crushed, they are chilled and left to macerate before pressing. Thereafter typical white wine making technology is employed.
The wine benefits from an ageing in bottle of six/eleven months.
DESCRIPTION
Pale straw yellow in colour. Complex and aromatic on the nose, with assertive personality on the palate reminiscent of fig, elderflowers, and tomato leaves, depending on the ageing in bottle and on the vintage; the wine shows a very good structure and long persistence.
PAIRING
A wine with plenty of substance, it fits with refined combinations. It will keep well for a year or two.
Serve at approx. 10/11° C.
