The 2018 Alto Adige Sauvignon Kinesis is fragrant and rich, with aromas of tropical fruit, tangerine skin, sweet apple, poached pear and spicy saffron. This vintage presents the slightly sweet and tropical side of Sauvignon Blanc, although you clearly get some of the tangy green tomato leaf and wild sage aromas that are characteristic of this grape in a cool climate like Alto Adige. With 7,500 bottles released, the wine sees a quick 12-hour cold maceration and is fermented in stainless steel, where it ages on the lees for five months. All these steps ensure the aromatic integrity of the wine.
