Sauvignon 2020
Alto Adige DOC
Sauvignon 2020 “The Wine Collection” is the sixth Sauvignon to be presented in this collection.
TWC comprises only the most perfect varietal wines which are kept to a very limited output. The Sauvignon is definitely the white grape variety that is, without doubt closest, to the heart of the St. Michael-Eppan winery.
