Andrius Sauvignon Blanc DOC

A Sauvignon Blanc that gives no indication of what one would expect from the variety: no light citrus notes, but depth, body and real aging potential.

Cantina Andrian is located in Andrian, a small village north of Bolzano in South Tyrol. The cooperative works with limestone soils at altitudes between 300 and 900 meters — a terroir that gives white wines a mineral tension and structure that simply cannot develop in flat vineyards.

Andrius matures for six months on its fine lees, 80% in stainless steel and 20% in tonneaux. The result is a wine with a creamy texture and yet a clear structure: on the nose, gooseberry, white peach, and a spicy, slightly vegetal undertone—typical of Sauvignon Blanc on limestone. On the palate, it is juicy, with a vibrant acidity that is supportive without being harsh, and a long, slightly salty-mineral finish. Not for immediate consumption: this wine needs air, or better yet, time. Drinking window: 2025–2029.
