Description
Type of wine
Sauvignon Karneid by Franz Gojer is a still white wine with Alto Adige Denominazione di Origine Controllata status, made from Sauvignon grapes. Subjected to a delicate skin maceration, it combines a fresh profile with a full structure and a constant minerality that balances its fruity character. On the nose and palate, notes of grapefruit and passion fruit stand out, interwoven with aromatic herbs, leading to a bold and full-bodied taste. Its intrinsic liveliness makes it the ideal accompaniment for summer pasta dishes, elegantly balancing the delicacy of shellfish and the refined nuances of raw fish.
Origin
This Sauvignon originates in Cornedo all’Isarco, from south-facing vineyards situated at an altitude of between 550 and 600 metres. The vines are rooted in a unique porphyritic sandy soil, formed by the breakdown of rocks and enriched by ancient glacial sediments including granite, basalt, and gneiss.
Production method
The production process begins with a rigorous manual harvest to preserve the integrity of the bunches. In the cellar, a delicate gravity-flow process is adopted, taking advantage of the natural slopes. The must is left in contact with the skins for between six and ten hours, followed by pressing and natural sedimentation for at least forty-eight hours at a low temperature. Fermentation is slow and controlled, accompanied by decanting that continues until the spring. A selection of the grapes undergoes whole-berry fermentation for a period of three days.
