Marchesi di Gresy, Langhe Sauvignon Blanc

Intense, ripe and vibrant aromas of citrus and stone fruit - with fine floral characters and notes of freshly-mown hay. Textural, harmonious palate with ripe fruit effortlessly balanced by crisp acidity and complex savoury characters. A generous style of Sauvignon with excellent depth and length of flavour. Ideal as an aperitif. Also, the perfect companion to hors d'oeuvre, seafood and fresh, spring salads.

Made from Sauvignon grapes cultivated on Marchesi di Grésy's Monte Aribaldo (in the commune of Treiso) and Martinenga (Barbaresco) estate. The vineyards vary from south and north to west-facing but they all have an average altitude of around 250 to 330 metres above sea level. The grapes are de-stemmed and pressed and the must is cold settled at a low temperature. Fermentation in stainless steel tanks at approx. 17 degrees Centigrade for one week. The wine is allowed to develop in the vat for three months before sterile bottling.
