Sauvignon Saxum 2019 Pfitscher
The Sauvignon Saxum 2019 by Pfitscher is one of the finest expressions of South Tyrolean Sauvignon Blanc. Sourced from high-altitude vineyards on calcareous soils of glacial origin, this white wine is characterized by remarkable aromatic complexity and crisp freshness, achieved through Pfitscher’s precision viticulture and the Alpine climate.
In the glass, it displays a luminous straw-yellow color, indicative of optimal grape ripeness. The nose is intense and vibrant, dominated by passion fruit, gooseberry, elderflower, lilac, and peach, with delicate herbal hints and a touch of green pepper that adds character and liveliness. The bouquet is complex, highlighting both the terroir of South Tyrol and the varietal elegance of Sauvignon Blanc.
On the palate, the Saxum 2019 is dry and sapid, with lively acidity that gives structure and freshness. Its texture is smooth and harmonious, leading to a persistent aromatic finish that recalls the fruity and floral notes perceived on the nose. Lees contact during aging in stainless steel enhances gustatory complexity while preserving fruit purity and the minerality typical of the terroir.
Ideal as an aperitif, the Saxum 2019 also pairs excellently with light fish dishes, shellfish, spring salads, and asparagus, thanks to its balanced acidity and aromatic freshness. Its elegance and structure make it suitable for moderate aging, preserving the varietal aromas and minerality of South Tyrol over time.
This wine embodies Pfitscher’s philosophy: precision in the vineyard, commitment to quality, and respect for the terroir. A Sauvignon Blanc that captivates with aromatic intensity, elegance, and drinkability, perfect for discovering the authentic character of South Tyrolean white wines.
