Territory and wine style

The Sauvignon Winkl 2025 originates from the Terlano area in Alto Adige, where this variety has long found one of its most recognizable expressions. The grapes come from vineyards located between 250 and 900 meters in altitude, on slopes that favor gradual ripening and a pronounced aromatic definition. The south-southwest exposure enhances the fruit, while the winery's approach emphasizes freshness, precision, and minerality. The result is a white wine with a clear, modern profile that is consistent with the character of the territory.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it presents a brilliant straw yellow, with light greenish hues. On the nose, it offers a rich and recognizable bouquet, featuring apricot, mandarin, and passion fruit, along with hints of elderflower, nettle, and mint. On the palate, the fruit is well-present, supported by elegant acidity that provides lift and clarity. The structure is balanced for the type, and the sip concludes with a fresh, savory, and mineral sensation, leaving a pleasant and well-defined aromatic persistence.

Recommended pairings

The Sauvignon Winkl 2025 pairs naturally with spring dishes and preparations that are delicate yet flavorful. It is ideal with asparagus, Bolzano sauce, fish carpaccios, smoked salmon, scampi, steamed trout, and fresh or lightly aged goat cheeses. Its freshness and aromatic profile also make it very suitable for vegetarian recipes, seafood appetizers, and dishes where the vegetable component remains the star.

Serving temperature

Serve the Sauvignon Winkl 2025 at 10-12 °C, in a well-proportioned young white wine glass. It does not require prolonged aeration: simply opening it shortly before serving is enough to fully appreciate its fragrance, balance, and aromatic clarity.
