Description
What kind of wine it is
Bottega Vinai Sauvignon Blanc is a still white wine with a strong sense of place, crafted by Cavit. In the glass, this wine from Trentino displays a pale yellow hue with subtle golden highlights. The aromatic bouquet is intense and straightforward, characterised by notes of elderflower, fig leaf and grapefruit. On the palate, it offers a dry progression with good body, balanced by lively acidity. Its freshness makes it an ideal companion for spaghetti with clams and fragrant fried fish, and it also pairs excellently with grilled mushrooms in a vegetarian meal.
Where it comes from
This white wine originates from the hills of the Valle dei Laghi, an area particularly suited to the cultivation of Sauvignon Blanc grapes. The vineyards benefit from a favourable sub-Mediterranean climate, characterised by mild temperatures that enhance the concentration of aromas and preserve the fruit's vibrancy. Deeply connected to the land, Cavit carefully selects the best bunches from its associated social wineries. This productive synergy allows the natural hilly vocation of the region to be fully expressed, resulting in a fragrant wine that precisely tells the story of its homeland.
How it is produced
After crushing and destemming, the grapes undergo a cold maceration for twelve hours, essential for extracting the best aromas. This is followed by gentle pressing and temperature-controlled fermentation, a crucial step to ensure maximum aromatic purity. Ageing takes place entirely in stainless steel tanks, avoiding the use of barrels to preserve the integrity of the grape variety. This rigorous technical choice delivers an extremely clear aromatic profile and a dynamic sip, keeping the typical varietal expression intact from the vineyard to the glass.
History and Curiosities
Born from the extensive experience of Cavit, a company founded in 1950, this white wine expresses the soul of the hills of the Valle dei Laghi. The Sauvignon Blanc grapes are enhanced through a meticulous 12-hour cold maceration, followed by gentle pressing and maturation in stainless steel. This technique ensures excellent aromatic extraction. A Trentino DOC awarded gold at the Decanter World Wine Awards, it is an authentic expression of Trentino's winemaking vocation.
