Vigneti delle Dolomiti IGT Sauvignon 2023 (750 ml.) - Hofstatter

Sauvignon by Hofstätter stands out for its typicality, for a very evident aromatic component both in aromas and taste. The color is lively, light yellow, with slight greenish reflections. On the nose, the aromas are reminiscent of gooseberries and blackcurrants, a slight hint of sambuca and a light touch of nettle and flint. On the palate it is lively, has a fresh character with a fine and refreshing well-balanced acidity. The fruity and floral aromas are also repeated on the palate and give the wine its true character.

Hofstätter is, perhaps, the largest private winery in South Tyrol. A legendary wine cellar, for some synonymous South Tyrol and expressive purity, the one founded in 1907 by Josef Hofstätter has actually always been able to combine technique and passion, big numbers and quality consistency, conducted with a pragmatism and an iron logic combining commercial interest and respect for the territory. A wine cellar with a workforce of some 50 hectares of land on which are cultivated all the most typical varieties of the region. In fact, thanks to the multiplicity of exposures, are excellent conditions for growth and maturation both white grapes that red grapes. Gewürztraminer from the pinot blanc, pinot black, the Lagrein and the slave there is variety which, once vinified, can not be considered as an example of absolute regional excellence. A single work and meticulous, now managed by the fourth generation-great-grandson of founder Martin Foradori Hofstätter.

Winery

Visitors to the headquarters and winery of the Josef Hofstätter estate find themselves in the main square of a bustling large village with the municipal hall, bars and the village church.

The winery and offices are accommodated in a grand 16th century edifice, originally built for the Austrian Imperial post coaches and it also housed the ‘Schwarzer Adler’ inn belonging to Martin Foradori’s great aunt. Josef Hofstätter made his first wines in the inn’s cellars. His nephew Konrad Oberhofer and wife Luise took over the estate in 1942 and it was he who recognised the potential inherent in vineyards.

He was the very first in South Tyrol to keep separate the grapes harvested in individual sites and name the resulting wines after the respective vineyards. Konrad Oberhofer’s daughter Sieglinde married Paolo Foradori in 1959. Paolo comes from an old-established family of winegrowers in the Adige Valley and owned vineyards in superb locations on the eastern side of the valley opposite Tramin.

Since then these vineyards have been administered together with those on the Tramin side of the valley in the family company’s headquarters which still bears the name of the estate’s founder, Josef Hofstätter.
