Sauvignon Terre al Monte DOC 2024

  Rivera's Sauvignon Terre al Monte appears in the glass in a clear, bright straw yellow with greenish reflections that underscore its freshness and liveliness. The nose reveals a complex bouquet of ripe citrus fruits, green apples, and white flowers, accompanied by subtle notes of exotic fruits such as passion fruit. A subtle mineral nuance hints at the calcareous soils of the vineyards in the hills of Castel del Monte and gives the wine its characteristic freshness and elegance.

On the palate, Sauvignon Terre al Monte impresses with a lively acidity that harmoniously carries the fruity aromas and a fine creaminess that underlines the structure of the wine. The finish is long and elegant, characterized by a light, mineral tension. Particularly noteworthy is the location of the vineyards on the terraced slopes of the Murgia hills, whose unique terroir and Mediterranean climate shape the Sauvignon Blanc grape variety into a clear, expressive and at the same time elegant wine. Thus, every sip reflects not only the freshness and vitality of the grapes, but also the history and character of the Apulia region. - Gerardo [TS10/25]
