Sauvignon Winkl 2024 DOC Alto Adige by Cantina Terlano

Sauvignon Winkl 2024 is a fine and territorial Alto Adige white, signed by Cantina di Terlano - Kellerei Terlan. Vinified in purity since 1956, it clearly expresses the character of the Sauvignon Blanc grown in the DOC Alto Adige, an area suited for elegant, taut, and aromatic whites. The result is a savory wine, slightly fruity and mineral, designed for those seeking a balance between immediacy, varietal identity, and a pleasant mouthfeel.

Territory and wine style

The Sauvignon Winkl 2024 originates in Alto Adige, in the Terlano area, where the tradition of this variety has long been established. The grapes come from areas located between 250 and 900 meters above sea level, on slopes that contribute to gradual ripening and a clear aromatic profile. The south-southwest exposure favors a good expression of the fruit, while the winery's style enhances precision, freshness, and minerality. It is an Italian white wine that combines drinkability and personality, with a modern interpretation that is consistent with the territory.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it presents with an intense and shiny straw yellow, enriched by a slight greenish hue. The bouquet is rich and recognizable: apricot, mandarin, and passion fruit emerge, accompanied by notes of elderflower, nettle, and mint. On the palate, the fruit returns clearly, supported by a delicate acidity that provides lift and drinkability. The structure is good for the type, and the finish leaves a mineral, fresh, and aromatic sensation that invites the next sip.

Recommended pairings

The Sauvignon Winkl 2024 pairs naturally with spring dishes and preparations that are delicate yet flavorful. It is ideal with white asparagus, steamed green asparagus, Bolzano sauce, tuna carpaccio, smoked salmon, and raw scampi. Excellent also with steamed trout, nettle dumplings, and fresh or lightly aged goat cheeses. Its aromatic vein and good freshness make it suitable for vegetarian cuisine, seafood appetizers, and dishes where the vegetable component is the star.

Serving temperature

Serve the Sauvignon Winkl 2024 at 10-12 °C, in a well-proportioned young white wine glass. It does not require prolonged aeration: just uncork shortly before serving to best appreciate its freshness and aromatic profile.
