Elena Walch, Alto Adige DOC (Italy) Sauvignon 2018

 From Elena Walch’s Castel Ringberg Vineyard, the 2018 Sauvignon Blanc is a radiant and tremendously appealing white wine.  It is both fresh and complex, offering a diversity of aromas and flavors ranging from citrus to tropical fruits, and including the hints of minerality that characterize the best wines from this northern mountainous region.  The enchanting white wine is notably crisp and complex, which suggests that it will age well for at least another five to ten years.  Enjoyable with a variety of foods, from fritto misto, to creamy pasta dishes, to seafood, poultry and pork.
