Description
VOGLAR is the ancient name of the area where the company's vineyards are located. The term derives from the Trentino dialectal expression "fogolar", ie focolare. Originally the vineyards were planted in Schiava, a local vine, which between 1988 and 1991 was completely replaced by Sauvignon Blanc. Careful studies and research into this variety have led to the conclusion that Voglar's position, altitude and limestone nature constitute the favorable premise for the production of an excellent white wine. The relatively high hill favors the complete physiological ripening of the grapes without loss of acidity and aromas. The goal is to obtain a wine with complex aromas of tropical fruit that express the original vine avoiding vegetal and immature hints; slightly acidic, with a vigor, body and structure that can withstand a moderate aging in the bottle.

Story | Voglar is the old name of the area where the vineyard of the property is located. It comes from the Trentino dialectical expression “fogolar” meaning “fire place”. Originally, the vineyard was planted to Schiava, a local red variety, but from 1988 to 1991 it was entirely replaced with Sauvignon Blanc. My studies of both this site and the grape variety led to the conclusion that exposition, elevation and the high content of limestone in the soil of this vineyard constitute excellent conditions for Sauvignon blanc. |
