In the glass
Aroma: elderberry flowers, raisin, vegetable note, fruity-flowered
Palate: delicate acidity, full taste, expressive
Tenuta Ritterhof's Paratus Alto Adige Sauvignon DOC, the cellar's Sauvignon expression in the middle Collis range. The producer describes it as combining vegetable and fruity-flowered notes of elderberry flowers and raisins with delicate acidity and a full taste.
What it pairs with
-
Grilled white fish with herbs
The wine's herbal-citrus register echoes the dish; saline minerality cuts the char. -
Asparagus risotto
Sauvignon Blanc's classical asparagus pairing; medium body matches risotto. -
Goat cheese tart
Fresh goat cheese meets the wine's grapefruit acidity; the wine's body suits pastry.
