Sauvignon Blanc Lehen Alois Lageder 2019

The Sauvignon Blanc Lehen of Alois Lageder winery is a white wine made with 100% of Sauvignon grapes, coming from Maso Lehen and selected vines in the district of Terlano, cultivated on soils of volcanic origin. This Sauvignon shows a beautiful pale straw yellow color with greenish reflections. In the nose it develops floral and intense perfumes, aromatic, fresh and fruity, with hints of tropical fruit. In the mouth it expresses its pleasing aromaticity; fresh and balanced  wine, it is characterized by a slight mineral note on the finish. The Sauvignon Lehen of Alois Lageder is perfect to drink in combination with a tasty asparagus risotto, pasta with vegetable sauce, shellfish or second courses of white meat.

The Alois Lageder winery was founded in Albions, a small mountain village in Val Gardena, in 1823. Johann Lageder started wholesale wine sales in 1924 and later his sons and grandchildren decided to buy vineyards and to produce wine themselves. With Alois Lageder, the company became a reference point in South Tyrol and synonymous of quality and excellence, producing wines that best represent the personality of the territory and the balance between tradition and innovation. Particular attention is paid to sustainable and ecological criteria: currently the 50 hectares of vineyards owned by the family are entirely cultivated with biodynamic methods. The company also collaborates with a certain number of selected winegrowers in South Tyrol: the extension of the vineyards covers further 110 hectares, a quarter of which are cultivated with biodynamic methods.
