Nose

Its flowery aroma has a
unique varietal bouquet reminiscent of elderflower and nettle, accompanied by yellow fruit
aromas of exotic fruits as well as native fruits such as peach and gooseberry.

Palate

This Sauvignon is
wonderfully fresh, lively and of hearty acidity. In a wonderful way, Pepi unites juicy freshness
on the one hand with appealing opulence on the other hand, a result of the vineyards located
on opposite-facing sides of the valley.

Growing Conditions

The vineyards with their calcareous gravelly soils are found opposite each other on
the east and west side of the Adige valley in hilly locations above 450m in altitude. The re-
spectively west- and east-facing vineyards are subject to very different sun exposure during
the day.

Harvest

Mid - end of September

Winemaking

After harvest, the grapes are gently pressed at low pressure. Fermentation takes
place slowly at controlled temperature (19°C) in small stainless-steel tanks.

Aging

long vinification in wood barrels (30 – 40 hl) with 8 months of lees contact and no malolactic
fermentation.

Appearance

light straw yellow with a green sheen

Food Pairing

pairs with first courses or fish, wonderful with slightly spicy dishes of white
meat and vegetables. It is excellent with green cheese and locally enjoyed as an accompani-
ment to asparagus dishes.
