Südtirol - Alto Adige DOC Sauvignon Mantele 2023 Nals Margreid

Mantele from Nals Margreid is a Sauvignon Blanc produced in Nalles, in the Alto Adige region, where the vineyards stretch between 330 and 400 meters above sea level. The east/southeast facing plots are located on an alluvial cone 150 meters deep, composed of 70% calcareous gravel and 30% porphyry debris. The sub-Mediterranean climate, characterized by warm days and cool nights, contributes to the wine's aromatic liveliness.

The grapes are harvested exclusively by hand. After a brief pre-fermentation maceration, the must ferments for about three weeks in wooden barrels. This is followed by aging on the fine lees for several months, allowing the wine to gain greater depth and structure without losing its typical freshness.

In appearance, it presents an intense and bright straw yellow color. The aromatic profile offers hints of exotic fruit, citrus, lemon zest, and aromatic herbs. On the palate, it is crunchy, tense, and savory, with a lovely persistence that enhances its mineral and citrus component.

Perfectly paired with pumpkin risotto, pasta with pesto, or vegetarian dishes rich in aromatic herbs.
