Vigna OBERKERSCHBAUM Sauvignon

Situated at 785 meters above sea level, this vineyard is among the highest sites for Sauvignon cultivation in Alto Adige. The vines grow on volcanic soil. Exceptional sunlight, enhanced by altitude and a southern exposure, creates a microclimate ideal for Sauvignon Blanc at this elevation. The combination of geology, altitude and solar intensity defines a selective terroir that fosters the vine’s resilience and naturally moderates its vigor. The result is balanced growth and a distinctive wine – fresh, elegant, and deeply rooted in the alpine identity of its origin.
