Ca di Alte Sauvignon Veneto IGT Italy

Ca di Alte Sauvignon Veneto IGT Italy

€15.95
Ca' di Alte was created by winemaker Alberto Marchisio. Although Piemontese himself, he has been working in the Veneto for some years. He joined Cantina Colli Vicentini as director and winemaker with the 2012 vintage and has since dramatically improved the quality of the wines. The grapes are grown primarily on the hills south of Vicenza, the Colli Berici, where the hillside sites ensure lower yields and better ripeness of the grapes. With Alberto's hand in the winery, the delicate aromas of the wines have been preserved. The Palladian window on the label acknowledges the work of the great Andrea Palladio, many of whose masterpieces are now UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The 16th century architect lived in Montecchio Maggiore, home of the Colli Vicentini winery, and Vicenza most of his life.

Description

The Colli Berici hillside ensures lower yields and better grape ripeness, creating a Sauvignon Blanc that is intensely fragrant with ripe varietal characteristics of mango and pineapple. Pale yellow in colour, this Sauvignon Blanc is intensely fragrant with ripe varietal characteristics of mango and pineapple. It has good acidity with a long, fresh finish. The vineyards are located in the hills on north-facing slopes. The hillside sites experience cooler nights, allowing the aromatic compounds of the grapes to develop and mature. The vines are trained using the Guyot system and are planted on calcareous soils of volcanic origin.
