SAUVIGNON

White Wine of Lazio I.G.T.

Background

Sauvignon, originally from the Bordeaux area, is a vine that prefers farming methods that do not expose the bunches to direct sunlight, thus avoiding oxidation, which could easily occur due to the presence of photolatable aromas. The grapes are therefore not "peeled", and retain their typicality. It was introduced in Agro Pontino, in the province of Latina, after extremely positive feedback, the result of long and accurate research.

Grapes and vinification

Sauvignon 100%. It is usually harvested in the very first days of September, in order to preserve a good acidity content of the grapes, at the same time ensure a good ripening and avoid the appearance of an excessive vegetable scent. After a careful soft pressing and a scrupulous selection of the must, the alcoholic fermentation is induced very quickly, in order to preserve all the aromatic characteristics typical of the grape. At the end of this phase, the temperature of the new wine is reduced to about 8 ° C. to avoid the start of malolactic fermentation. This is followed by the necessary decanting and bottling, scheduled for January / February.
