Vintage details

The 2024 vintage in Alto Adige was characterized by a balanced climate: a mild winter followed by a regular spring and a sunny summer, with good temperature fluctuations between day and night. This trend favored a slow and homogeneous ripening of the grapes, ensuring perfect aromatic concentration and an ideal balance between acidity and body for the Sauvignon Blanc 'Floreado'.

Winemaking and aging

After a manual harvest carried out in the early morning hours, the grapes are gently pressed. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures, to preserve the purity of the varietal aromas. The wine then rests for several months on its fine lees, a practice called batonnage that adds greater complexity and softness, without losing the typical freshness that distinguishes Andriano's Sauvignon Blanc.
