Profumo

Origin Aica di Sotto, part of Fiè allo Sciliar
Climate Altitude: 590 to 630 m. (1,935 to 2,066 feet) a.s.l. Exposure: South-East.
Soil composition The topsoil comprises moderately silty sand with high salt levels and low humus content. A striking feature of the site is the presence of gray porphyry. The deeper soil horizons are dominated by sandy limestone rock flour. The geology of the site gives the wine its specific character: minerally flint nuances on the nose and salty-minerally on the palate with a clean and fresh acidity
Cultivation system Guyot
Plants per hectare 3240
Yield per hectare 42 hl/Ha
Harvest The Sauvignon Blanc grapes are harvested at full maturity, when the acidity levels are still remarkably high.
Wine making After a maceration period lasting eight to twelve hours, the berries are gently pressed. For alcoholic fermentation, 25% of the must is placed in new tonneaux barrels and 75% in big wooden barrels, where the young wine remains for almost a year. This process gives the RACHTL Sauvignon Blanc Riserva its smoothness and structure. To maintain the minerality of the wine, care is taken to avoid malolactic fermentation during this period.
Aging The assemblage then spends six months in a stainless steel tank for natural clarification. Finally, the wine is allowed to mature for a further twelve months in the bottle.
