Sauvignon Blanc Zemmer Peter 2023

Grafted to slow-growing rootstock and trained on traditional wire trellises (Guyot), this Sauvignon flourishes at an elevation of 450 m. (1,500 ft.). The favorable location of the vineyards, the very low yield, and the warm days and cool nights provide the ideal conditions for optimal ripening of the grapes. A delicate aromatic white wine which due to its pleasant acidity can be cellared for long periods, developing an interesting and balanced nose. The color varies from greenish yellow to straw-yellow. The bouquet includes tones of nettles, honey, bell pepper, and elder blossom. The flavor is rich and harmonious, with good fruit and lasting acidity. Contains sulphites. Produced by Peter Zemmer - Strada del Vino, 24 - 39040, Cortina s.s.d.v. - Alto Adige - Italy.

The producer

The family business Peter Zemmer KG is one of the oldest wineries in the Alto Adige, a winegrowing region whose tradition was already famed during the period of the Roman emperors since wine, culture, and art have been here closely intertwined throughout history. The valley floor around Cortina and the wide selection of grape varieties are as varied as the landscape, a fact which has brought special praise to winemaking in the Lowlands throughout the centuries. The wealth of varietals is without a doubt due to the climatic conditions which are especially favourable to the grapes. The wide variety of planting locations and grape varieties and the expert management of the proprietor, Helmuth Zemmer, with his sons at his side, result in a broad range of full-bodied red wines and a diverse palette of top-cru white wines.
