Descrizione

Sauvignon Alto Adige DOC Flora - Girlan from Cantina Girlan is a white wine that elegantly tells the story of the alpine territory from which it originates. Produced in the renowned Alto Adige area, this Sauvignon intensely expresses the character of the grape varieties cultivated on particularly suitable soils, where the cool climate and temperature variations favor the slow and harmonious ripening of the grapes.

In the glass, it presents a bright straw yellow color, while the nose releases fresh aromas of cut grass, green pepper, notes of exotic fruit, and hints of sage. The sip is lively and savory, with a refined balance between acidity and structure, offering a wide and pleasant gustatory persistence. The aging takes place in steel to preserve the typical aromatic fragrance, enhancing varietal purity.

Perfect to accompany seafood appetizers, vegetable-based dishes, or fresh cheeses, this Sauvignon Alto Adige DOC is a versatile and fascinating choice for those who love terroir whites.

Winery history

Founded in 1923 by an initial group of growers who chose an ancient 16th-century farmhouse in Cornaiano, the winery has evolved into a cooperative bringing together about 200 families. The ancient underground cellars and historic buildings coexist with modern facilities: harvesting and winemaking are managed with care for each individual vineyard to highlight local specificities.

Production philosophy

The winery aims to showcase historic local varieties and to interpret international varieties in a way that reflects the local terroir. Sustainability is central: targeted agronomic practices, reduced use of mineral fertilizers, energy-saving measures and the introduction of lighter bottles to reduce emissions.

Terroir and vineyards

Vineyards are located mainly in the Oltradige and the Bassa Atesina, on morainic and porphyric soils. Some crus and sites mentioned include Gschleier, Plattenriegl, Montiggl and Mazon, known for their diversity of exposure and soil.

Awards and recognitions

The winery and individual wines have received national and international recognition: for example, the Trattmann Pinot Noir Riserva has been listed among wines awarded "3 Bicchieri" by Gambero Rosso for consecutive years; the Vigna Ganger Pinot Noir Riserva has received very high scores from Wine Advocate; the Gschleier Alte Reben Vernatsch has been highlighted by Decanter among notable wines.
