Hofstätter's Sauvignon is a still white wine from the Dolomite Vineyards with an intense aromatic profile, produced in Trentino-Alto Adige. This interpretation by J. Hofstätter enhances the Sauvignon grape with pronounced \u003cstrong\u003emineral freshness\u003c\/strong\u003e and lively acidity. On the palate, it stands out for its slender yet well-structured body, faithfully reflecting the \u003cstrong\u003eAlpine character\u003c\/strong\u003e of the Dolomites. Fermentation in steel tanks delivers a clean and harmonious sip, led by well-defined \u003cstrong\u003evarietal notes\u003c\/strong\u003e that lead to an elegant and satisfying persistence on the palate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes are grown on the Maso Michei estate, located above the village of Ala, within the Dolomite Vineyards. The \u003cstrong\u003ehigh-altitude vineyards\u003c\/strong\u003e, situated between 820 and 900 metres, benefit from a cool mountain climate with marked temperature variations, which encourage slow ripening, essential for aromatic development.

This geological complexity gives the wine a pronounced \u003cstrong\u003esavoury imprint\u003c\/strong\u003e, outlining a vertical, linear profile with great territorial fidelity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe production process involves an \u003cstrong\u003eeight-hour skin maceration\u003c\/strong\u003e, ideal for extracting the best aromatic components, followed by gentle pressing. Fermentation and maturation take place in \u003cstrong\u003esteel tanks\u003c\/strong\u003e, thus preserving the natural acidic tension. Visually, the wine displays a straw yellow hue with greenish reflections. The bouquet releases hints of gooseberry, elderflower and nettle, accompanied by nuances of flint. The tasting is dynamic, led by a \u003cstrong\u003ecitrusy note\u003c\/strong\u003e of grapefruit and green apple that flows into a pleasantly herbaceous finish.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded in the nineteenth century in Termeno, the \u003cstrong\u003eJ.
