ELENA WALCH ALTO ADIGE SAUVIGNON 2023

Through a winemaker's lens, Alto Adige's dramatic alpine terroir reveals its full splendor in Elena Walch's Selezione Sauvignon. At the vanguard of the region's quality revolution, architect-turned-vintner Elena Walch has transformed this historic family estate into a benchmark for sustainable, terroir-driven winemaking—now guided by fifth-generation daughters Julia and Karoline. This expressive Sauvignon Blanc emerges from meticulously tended vineyards where the unique interplay of high-altitude sunshine and cool mountain breezes creates perfect conditions for aromatic development and balanced ripening. The glass reveals a deep yellow hue with verdant highlights, while the nose offers an intricate tapestry of ripe gooseberries, exotic papaya, and elderberry notes complemented by delicate herbal undertones. The sustainably farmed fruit translates to a palate of vibrant acidity and elegant structure, culminating in an inviting finish that perfectly captures the sophisticated alpine character of Italy's northernmost wine region.
