Von Blumen Sauvignon Blanc '505'

Winemaker Von Blumen on the winery

“Von Blumen is a family project founded by Roberta, Cristina and Giuseppe Fugatti, who began their own winemaking venture in Pochi di Salorno in 2013. With over twelve hectares of vineyards, we focus on the distinctive grape varieties of Alto Adige. Some of our vines are more than a hundred years old. The limestone and porphyry soils, together with our nature-conscious approach to viticulture, form the foundation for wines with a strong sense of terroir, aromatic intensity and refined freshness.”

And on Alto Adige, Italy

“Our Sauvignon Blanc grows around Pochi di Salorno, at an average altitude of 505 metres. Warm days and cool mountain nights allow the grapes to ripen slowly while preserving their aromatic freshness. After a short cold maceration, the wine ferments in stainless steel. It then spends six months ageing on its fine lees, adding creaminess and complexity. The result is an expressive Sauvignon Blanc that combines freshness, spice and a subtle mineral touch.”
