Tasting Notes

Alteni di Brassica Sauvignon Blanc derives its name from the small stone walls called alteni that once surrounded the orchards in the area, and the yellow brassica flowers that cover the vineyards in the spring. Made from vineyards in Barbaresco and Serralunga, from soils with a high calcareous clay content with excellent exposure, the 2012 vintage is silky and elegant yet very complex with sage, wild herbs, pepper, mint, grapefruit and peach aromas. The wine is dense, round and full bodied with great structure which is tempered by fresh acidity and minerality. The barrel ageing adds texture and complexity and you feel a touch of spice from the very classy and well integrated oak. This is a very refined style of Sauvignon Blanc with excellent ageing potential. Drink 2014 ? 2021.
