Sauvignon 'Andrius' Andriano 2020

The Sauvignon “Andrius” is a white wine whose class lies in the elegance with which aromas and flavors spread to the nose and mouth. Gentleness and decisiveness are the two words that best describe the sensations experienced during the tasting of this label, elegant yet resolute in offering a rich and full-bodied sip, dominated by a refreshing vein. Andriano, the first social winery founded at the end of the nineteenth century, offers with this bottle a clear and authentic expression of the Sauvignon grape cultivated in Alto Adige.

The Andrius is made from pure Sauvignon grapes, an international white grape variety that thrives within the regional borders of Trentino Alto Adige. Cantina Andriano cultivates this variety in vineyards located at an altitude between 260 and 380 meters above sea level, characterized by reddish and clayey soils, rich in limestone and layers of white dolomitic stone. The must ferments in stainless steel containers at controlled temperature. The subsequent aging takes place on the lees both in steel, for 70%of the total mass, as well as in large barrels, and has a duration of 6 months.

“Andrius” Sauvignon presents itself to the eye with a straw yellow hue, crossed by reflections tending more towards greenish, visible at the rim. The olfactory spectrum announces itself with a mix of fruity tones, from which light hints of floral and aromatic herbs also emerge. On the palate, it is medium-bodied, harmonious in the mouth, with a sip characterized by a fresh taste, derived from a slight citrus flavor. A label that is part of the “selections” made by Andriano, to be reserved for those evenings when wine holds its importance at the table.
