Winemaker Notes

„Voglar“ is the old name of the area where the vineyard of the property is located. It comes from the Trentino dialectical expression “fogolar” meaning “fire place”. Originally, the vineyard was planted to Schiava, a local red variety, but from 1988 to 1991 it was entirely replaced with Sauvignon Blanc. My studies of both this site and the grape variety led to the conclusion that exposition, elevation and the high content of limestone in the soil of this vineyard constitute excellent conditions for Sauvignon blanc. The relatively high elevation of the slope allows for full ripening of the grapes without loss of acidity or aroma. My goal was a wine with a complex aroma of tropical fruit (without notes of unripeness) and with the acidity and structure that allows for several years of evolution in the bottle.

Capable of a vast array of styles, Sauvignon Blanc is a crisp, refreshing variety that equally reflects both terroir and varietal character. Though it can vary depending on where it is grown, a couple of commonalities always exist—namely, zesty acidity and intense aromatics. This variety is of French provenance. Somm Secret—Along with Cabernet Franc, Sauvignon Blanc is a proud parent of Cabernet Sauvignon. That green bell pepper aroma that all three varieties share is no coincidence—it comes from a high concentration of pyrazines (herbaceous aromatic compounds) inherent to each member of the family.
