A traditional outlook and attention to detail. These are words full of meaning for the Pratzner family. The constant daily activities are based on manual work, with the machines only there to provide support. Since 2003, all the wines are vinified in the new cellar. White wines age in large acacia wood casks in the cellar carved into the rock. Excellent quality vines, such as Riesling, Pinot Blanc, Sauvignon, Gewürztraminer and Pinot Noir, grow on 14 hectares (600 to 900 m above sea level). Approximately 90,000 bottles are produced every year. South Tyrolean Vinschgau Sauvignon from Falkenstein is fresh and aromatic and is born in vineyards on the north side in the Naturno region.
Grape variety: Sauvignon Blanc 100%
Vinification: It is made exclusively from Sauvignon grapes. Fermentation takes place for 7-10 weeks at controlled temperature in acacia barrels, then the wine is refined for 9 months in the same containers before being bottled.
Tasting notes: This Sauvignon is characterized by a straw yellow color with brilliant reflections. The nose opens with fresh hints of alfalfa, enriched with pleasant mineral notes. The palate is fresh, iodized and pleasantly brackish. The wine has delicate aromas of green pepper and gooseberry.
Food pairing: Perfect with fish dishes, ideal in combination with first courses and vegetables.
