Comments
Ignaz Niedrist is one of the most respected small producers in the Alto Adige. His wines are very expressive and brilliantly made examples of their type, including this archetypal Sauvignon. His jewel of a cellar is just off the 'Wine Road' that runs through the important villages south of Bolzano, and his vineyards are mostly clustered nearby the cellar.

The Alto Adige produces some of the most distinctive examples of this variety anywhere, and Ignaz's Sauvignon is textbook. This wine is fermented and aged in stainless steel, with no contact with wood and no malolactic fermentation. Estate bottled. Tasting notes: Pale straw color, very varietal specific aroma of herbs, gooseberry, and a hint of apricot; these aromas carry through onto the palate, which is rich but with excellent fresh acidity; very long finish. Great with seafood or cured meat antipasti.

Citrus lime, herb tendrils, slight minerality, very focused, fresh laser-like acidity. Discovered at SPQR in SF.
