In the southernmost part of the Trentino Adige valley, where the Little Dolomites and the Baldo chain accompany Lake Garda in its expansion towards the Venetian plain, the vineyards of the Ala cellar are located; a land rich in memories, which was the scene of disputes between the Austrian empire and the most serene republic of Venice. It was thanks to these relationships and the consequent commercial exchanges of the people who populated it that Marzemino arrived in this land from the distant and suggestive Asia Minor.

For more than a century this vine, originally from France and precisely from the Loire Valley area, has been grown on the hills of Alto Adige. The grape harvest takes place by hand, as in the past, starting from the beginning of September. After a gentle destemming, the grapes undergo a short cold maceration in a stainless steel press. The alcoholic fermentation takes place in steel tanks at a controlled temperature. At the end of alcoholic fermentation, the wine is kept in contact with the lees, in stainless steel containers for about 6 months. The Sauvignon has a yellow color with light green reflections. On the nose the scent is fresh, with extravagant hints of nettle, pepper, tomato leaves and anise.

A versatile goblet that goes perfectly with all courses at the table and after the first sip it will take you back to the unspoiled nature on the slopes of Monte Corno.

The origin of this vine is believed to be attributed to the French region of Burgundy. Flowers is the name chosen by the winery to represent the spearheads of the Von Blumen project. Harvested in September, the grapes are then partially de-stemmed and crushed, and left to ferment with maceration on the skins in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature, for about 20 days. Subsequently, before bottling, it is aged for 12 months in French oak tonneaux. In the glass the color is a bright ruby red. The bouquet is intense and broad on the nose, ranging from sweet nuances of red and black fruits to fragrant spicy scents. On the palate it is enveloping and complex, with a mature and long-lasting tannic texture in the mouth. A wine of exceptional drinkability and character, excellent in combination with red meat dishes, medium and long-aged cheeses and traditional main courses of South Tyrolean cuisine.
