Description
Sauvignon Vulcaia is a dry, semi-aromatic, still white wine with a Typical Geographical Indication (IGT Veneto). Grown using the GDC Geneva Double Curtain method, the Sauvignon vineyards in Veneto are located in the municipalities of Monteforte d'Alpone and Soave (in the province of Verona), on the slopes of Monte Foscarino, in volcanic soils rich in tuff and basalt. Sauvignon Vulcaia from the Inama winery was created just over 25 years ago with the aim of raising awareness of the little-known region of Soave. This Veneto wine is therefore the fruit of the French white grape variety grown for the first time in volcanic soil. A successful marriage that gives life to a new and interesting version of wine. The result of a 100% Sauvignon Blanc blend, it is produced with grapes harvested exclusively by hand, then selected and pressed. Pressing is followed by skin maceration. This process lasts just over 3 hours, followed by pressing and subsequently cold decantation of the must, which lasts for a period of 12 hours. This process is followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks, after which the wine undergoes a light filtration before being bottled. Only after this refinement phase can it be bottled and released to the market. The result is an elegant wine, of notable interest and with a strong personality, reminiscent of the volcanic soils in which the vine is grown.
