Hofstatter's Sauvignon "" Michei "" is a fresh and finely aromatic white with a refined and elegant profile. The nose offers a delicate range of nuances, ranging from the aromas of gooseberry to the scents of white flowers, from the hints of aromatic herbs to sensations of flint. The sip is of energetic freshness, with good palatal aromaticity, ripe fruit in the center of the mouth and a pleasant final vivacity. A hymn to the mountains!
- Method : The Sauvignon vines are grown on mixed soils, with the presence of clays, porphyry, gravel and lime which give natural minerality to the final sip. The cool climate and the strong temperature changes between day and night temperatures make the grapes ripen very slowly, enriching them with aromatic finesse. At the end of the harvest phase, maceration on the skins is carried out for about 8 hours, followed by a very soft pressing. The must ferments and ages in steel tanks for a few months before being put on the market.
- Features : Hofstatter's Sauvignon "Michei" represents a lean and refined version of this famous international grape variety, with the typical fresh and mineral profile characteristic of mountain wines. In the glass it has a light yellow color with greenish reflections. The olfactory framework expresses aromas of elderberry, nettle, aromatic herbs, aromas of gooseberry with mineral nuances of flint. The attack on the palate is vibrant, with the center of the mouth with a rich and intense fruit and a finish of great freshness and persistence.
- Pairings : To be combined with fish, vegetables or white meat, it is ideal to accompany asparagus with Maltese sauce.

EstateJ. Hofstätter
For five generations our family has cultivated its vineyards on both sides of the Adige valley. Located in the heart of the historic village of Termeno, our estate stretches between the peaks of neighboring Trentino and the steep slopes of the Saar, in the Moselle wine-growing region of Germany. We combine tradition, pioneering spirit, respect for nature and innovation. We love what we do: we live wine. The different terroirs and the different microclimates determine the character of our wines. For five generations we have been cultivating each grape variety where it can express itself at its best. Our owned vineyards extend on both sides of the Adige valley and at the end of the Ronchi Valley in Trentino. Since 2014, we have been producing our Rieslings in Moselle, the wine-growing area of Germany most suited to this noble variety in the world. Our vines have their roots on plateaus and hills at altitudes ranging between 250 and 850 meters. Depending on the slope on which they are located, the rows are reached by fresh mountain breezes or warm southern winds, by the morning or evening sun. Ours was the first South Tyrolean company to put the vineyard on the label, identifying the wines that come from individual vineyards, in the most suitable particles..
