Acclaim
“Fresh and crisp, the 2012 Alto Adige Sauvignon brings forth pristine aromas of exotic fruit, lime, honey, sage, tomato leaf and sweet spring flower. The mouthfeel is lean and simple (this wine only sees stainless steel), but the real action is all on the bouquet.”
— Wine Advocate, Oct 2014
“The 2012 Sauvignon is a gorgeous, crisp white with soft varietal fruit and lovely region character. Grassy, fresh and vibrant, Tramin's Sauvignon is an excellent choice for drinking over the next year or two, while the flavors remain vibrant.”
— Antonio Galloni, Jun 2013
