Sauvignon Veneto IGT, History and Characteristics

Sauvignon

Veneto IGT

The grapes are vinified as a white wine, thanks to a soft pressing carried out immediately after their arrival at the winery. The must is cooled to 10 °C (50 °F) so that it becomes naturally clear; the alcoholic fermentation is then triggered off with the addition of selected yeasts and is maintained at a temperature of 16 - 18 °C (61 - 64 °F).

Sauvignon

TASTE PROFILE

A dry white wine, straw-yellow in color with greenish highlights.

The herbaceous fragrance, which is reminiscent of elderflowers, is typical of the variety.

Hors d’oeuvres and fish recipes with sauces; vegetable risottos.

Attractively mellow fruit overlies a nice backbone of refreshing acidity.

10 - 12 °C (50 – 54 °F)
