Produttori Colterenzio 2001 Lafoa Sauvignon Blanc (Alto Adige)

Country: Italy / Lafoa
Variety: Sauvignon Blanc Northeastern Italy
Winery: Produttori Colterenzio / Alto Adige

This is a rare example of a successful wood-aged Sauvignon Blanc. The fruit comes from the Lafoa vineyard in Cornaiano. Half the wine has new oak barrel fermentation, the other was kept in stainless steel, cutting the wood flavors to an elegant balance with the floral and mineral flavors.
