Introduction:
The 2023 Girlan “Indra” Sauvignon is a crisp, aromatic white that captures the alpine freshness of Alto Adige. It’s a wine of purity and precision, offering bright citrus and herbal notes layered over a fine mineral core. This is a Sauvignon Blanc with real elegance—more mountain stream than tropical cocktail.

Terroir:
Sourced from hillside vineyards near Cornaiano at around 500 meters above sea level. The soils are composed of glacial moraine deposits rich in minerals, providing excellent drainage and imparting a subtle stony character to the wine. The high altitude and cool alpine nights help retain vibrant acidity, while the long sunny days ensure full aromatic development.

Appearance:
A luminous pale straw-yellow with glints of green, reflecting both youth and freshness.

Nose:
Expressive and refined, with aromas of gooseberry, lime zest, and elderflower joined by fresh herbs, nettle, and a hint of alpine meadow.

Palate:
Light and racy yet with good depth. Zesty citrus and green apple lead, followed by delicate herbal tones and a clean mineral streak. The texture is silky and refined, while crisp acidity keeps the wine lively and focused.

Finish:
Long and refreshing, leaving a lingering impression of citrus peel, fresh herbs, and wet stone.

Overall Impression:
A beautifully balanced Sauvignon Blanc that showcases the cool-climate precision of Alto Adige. Fresh, elegant, and versatile—perfect as an aperitif or paired with seafood, salads, and soft cheeses.
