Description
Type of wine
Voglar Dipoli Peter is an intense straw-yellow still white wine with elegant golden highlights. Made exclusively from Sauvignon grapes, this wine fully expresses the character of the Alto Adige appellation. It is distinguished by the perfect balance between enveloping smoothness and distinct savoury tension, resulting in a structured and complex wine. The profile is lively and fresh, characterised by a long and very persistent finish. The vinification in wood enhances its varietal character, making it ideal for those looking for a white with a rich and elegant palate.
Origin
This Sauvignon is rooted in Voglar, a historical place name located in the municipality of Egna, in the province of Bolzano, in the heart of Alto Adige. The vines enjoy a privileged microclimate, situated at an altitude of between five hundred and six hundred metres, an ideal condition for slow and optimal ripening. The sandy soils, enriched by a significant percentage of dolomitic limestone stones, give the wine great ageing potential and a deep, unmistakable mineral footprint. The name itself, which in the local dialect means "hearth", tells of the deep connection with this extraordinary mountain territory.
How it is produced
The creation of this wine begins with a harvest that takes place between mid and late September. Alcoholic fermentation lasts for about ten days in large acacia barrels. In this phase, to safeguard natural acidity and gustatory tension, malolactic fermentation is strictly avoided. Subsequently, the wine ages on its lees in the same barrels until May. During the first three months, complexity is increased through careful bâtonnage every ten days. The process concludes with prolonged cellar ageing post-bottling, which is essential for achieving perfect structural balance.
History and curiosities
The name Voglar, which means hearth in the local dialect, represents the authentic soul of the winery founded by Peter Dipoli in 1987 in Egna. In this extraordinary mountainous terrain, the traditional cultivation of Schiava grapes was courageously replaced by a single-varietal Sauvignon Blanc. This bold agronomic decision is the result of thorough studies, which demonstrated how the particular limestone soil perfectly preserves acidity and aromatic complexity, giving life to a prestigious label celebrated with 95 Vinous points.

In the following years, the estate was enlarged by buying some new vineyard and renting others. This is how the vineyard Iugum in the nearby village of Magré, became part of the property. In the beginning the grapes were vinified at a friend’s winery. A fundamental step was to buy an ancient, rural house in Villa, in the village of Egna, that in 1998 was restored and became the estate winery. Read more
