Description
What kind of wine it is
The Sauvignon Winkl by Cantina Terlano is a still, semi-aromatic white wine, a pure expression of the Sauvignon Blanc grape variety. It displays a straw yellow colour with greenish highlights and an intriguing bouquet, combining notes of apricot, mandarin and passion fruit with lively hints of elderflower, nettle and mint. On the palate, it stands out for its delicate acidity and a deep mineral finish, elegantly accompanying asparagus, fish carpaccio and fresh goat's cheeses.
Where it comes from
This white wine originates from the vineyards of Alto Adige, within the renowned Alto Adige Terlano production area. The vines grow at various altitudes, benefiting from excellent sun exposure from south to south-west. The highly permeable soil is characterised by sandy porphyry and a stony matrix. This particular geological composition is crucial in giving the glass its unmistakable savoury character and enhancing the aromatic profile typical of the Alto Adige terroir.
How it is produced
The process begins with a rigorous manual harvest and selection. This is followed by a gentle whole-bunch pressing, while the must is clarified by natural sedimentation. Fermentation takes place slowly at a controlled temperature in stainless steel tanks. Several months of ageing on the fine lees in steel is a key technical step to enrich the taste structure, while ensuring maximum definition of the fruity aromas.
History and Curiosities
Vinified as a single varietal since 1956, Sauvignon Winkl reflects the vocation of the historic Terlano Winery, under the expert guidance of oenologist Rudi Kofler. This white wine originates in the Alto Adige Terlano DOC area, from south-west facing vineyards that surround the oldest estates. The vines thrive on a permeable porphyry soil of sandy origin, which imparts a distinctive savoury minerality to the glass. Bottled at source, Winkl expresses a deep connection to its roots, translating the excellence of the region into an experience of great elegance.
