“VIGNA RACHTL” SAUVIGNON BLANC RISERVA ALTO ADIGE DOC Overlooking the Val de Tires, Vigna Rachtl is sits at 1,935 – 2,066 feet above sea level. An extremely steep slope protects the vines from stiff northerly winds and a high content of gray porphyry in the soil composition is unique in the area. It is this distinctive geology of site which gives Rachtl Sauvignon Blanc Riserva its distinguishing character—a nose gives aromas of flint and saltymineralitywith clean, crisp acidity on the palate. Rachtl Sauvignon Blanc Riserva is allowed to macerate for 8 – 12 hours before gentle pressing followed by a fermentation in large wooden barrels where the young wine will remain for almost one year, although malolactic fermentation is not permitted. Following this, the wine is transferred to stainless steel tank and allowed to clarify through natural sedimentation. An additional 12 months of bottle maturation then takes place at the winery.
