Description

Langhe Sauvignon 2016 Matteo Correggia

Variety: Sauvignon Blanc 100%

Certified organic

Straw yellow with green veins.

The nose has both classic aromas due to the variety and others to the cultivation area. Thus we can describe the tomato leaf, the white peach and the passion flower. Also some ideas of freshly cut grass and other more evolved hay.

On the palate it has excellent hardness and volume even as a gift. Balanced and elegant, it has the greatest value in the pleasure of the sip.

Different and very interesting variation of Italian Sauvignon blanc.

Langhe Sauvignon 2016 Matteo Correggia

The grapes come from a single vineyard located in the Canale municipality.

Soil: it is composed of 70% fine sand, 25% silt and the remaining 5% clay.

The solar orientation shows an exposure to the east. Altitude varies from 235 to 270 meters above sea level.

The plant density is 4700 plants per hectare, while the training system is a counter espalier with Guyot pruning.

Average age of the vineyard is 20 years with older plants reaching 25 years.

The yield per hectare is 60 hectoliters.

The harvest takes place manually, normally at the beginning of September.

As soon as it arrives in the cellar the grapes are rasped, and the grapes undergo a short maceration in the press, at a low temperature. Proceed with soft pressing, pouring into stainless steel containers set to keep the temperature low. After adding the selected yeasts, fermentation begins in an almost totally oxygen-free environment.

It refines on fermentation yeast residues, partly in stainless steel and partly in small-sized wooden barrels for a minimum of three months. Proceed with the assembly and additional rest for ten months in stainless steel and another year in the bottle.
