Alto Adige DOC Sauvignon 'Lafoa' 2023 (750 ml.) Colterenzio
The Sauvignon from the prestigious 'Lafòa' line of Colterenzio is a white wine of rich and exquisite elegance, a true excellence of the Alps. It is made from the eponymous grapes used in purity, grown in a vineyard that produces wines with a distinctive character, important structure, and pronounced class. Fresh and floral, this Sauvignon blanc is a young wine with an ancient soul. The Sauvignon grapes undergo a gentle pressing, and half of the obtained must is fermented in steel tanks, while the other half is aged in barriques. After 8 months on the fine lees, the wine is blended and bottled with care. Intense fruity notes on the nose reminiscent of elderflower, acacia flowers, and sage, intertwined with elegant hints of wood. A wine with tasty acidity and a long finish.

LINEA LAFOA
Lafóa: from the pilot vineyard to the flagship wines
The name Lafóa evokes the beginning of the quality revolution in South Tyrol and the pioneering work carried out by Cantina Colterenzio in the 1980s. At that time, the pioneer Luis Raifer on the namesake vineyard not only planted new grape varieties but also introduced new quality standards: lower yield per grape and better quality wine. It was precisely on this pilot vineyard that the “Lafóa idea” was born: the introduction of new quality standards that are still rigorously followed today by both the winegrower members and the collaborators in the winery. Today Lafóa is synonymous with whites and reds of strong structure, refined and with great aging potential.
THE WINE
The Sauvignon Blanc Linea 'Lafòa' by Colterenzio comes from a vineyard that produces wines with a distinctive character, significant structure, and marked class. Fresh and floral, this Sauvignon blanc is a young wine with an ancient soul. The Sauvignon grapes undergo a gentle pressing, and half of the obtained must is fermented in steel tanks, while the other half is aged in barriques. After 8 months on the fine lees, the wine is blended and carefully bottled. Intense fruity notes on the nose reminiscent of elderflower, acacia flowers, and sage intertwined with elegant hints of wood. A wine with tasty acidity and a long finish.
THE COMPANY
Archduke Sigismund, residing at Castel Firmiano in the 15th century, was not the first to appreciate the good wine from Colterenzio. In fact, as early as 15 B.C., the Roman settler Cornelius recognized the extraordinary fertility of this land and decided to settle here, thus laying the foundations for the current viticultural vocation of Colterenzio. His estate "Cornelianum," which gave its name to the village of Cornaiano, stood on a hill not far away. The ancient tradition was renewed in 1960 when 28 winemakers founded Cantina Colterenzio. Others joined them over the years, and today Colterenzio counts nearly 300 passionate winegrower members who contribute grapes from approximately 300 hectares of vineyards they own.
