Andrius Sauvignon Blanc DOC Magnum

A Sauvignon Blanc from South Tyrol that shows what limestone soil and cool mountain air can bring out of this grape variety – not a light summer wine, but a structured white wine with real aging potential.

Cantina Andrian is located in Überetsch, one of South Tyrol's oldest wine-growing regions. The cooperative works with winegrowing families whose vineyards are situated on calcareous soil – this shapes the minerality and firm acidity of the wines. The Andrius is the winery's flagship wine, vinified for depth rather than freshness.

Fermented in stainless steel, then aged for six months on the fine lees – 80% in tank, 20% in tonneau. The oak remains in the background: no vanilla aroma, but rather texture and volume. On the nose, gooseberry, white currant, and a hint of mountain herbs. On the palate, juicy with a spicy bite, the acidity well-integrated, the finish long and slightly salty-mineral.

Drinking window: 2025–2029; the magnum bottle offers additional protection for the wine and slows down its development. Serving temperature: 10–12 °C.
Goes well with grilled pike-perch with caper butter, vitello tonnato or a strong goat cheese from the Vinschgau valley.
