A white grape variety from France that embraces the nuances of the Tirol area, Sauvignon takes its name, according to ampelography expert Pierre Galet, from the French word sauvage ("wild"), alluding to its particular vigor, which requires scrupulous attention to get convincing results.
At Valeaeden, the healthy grapes, harvested at full maturity from our vineyards in Tirol and gravitationally vinified, offer us a fruity wine, with a harmoniously integrated acidity, perfected with elegance and passion.
