In Trentino Alto Adige, Girlan produces a single variety wine-making with 100% Sauvignon. It praises the denomination Alto Adige DOC. The variety is cultivated on the hills of Cornaiano, where the lands reach 500 meters elevation and the presence of the Alps shapes the perfume of this wine. The grapes are harvested once they reach the perfect level of maturation. Wine-making: The manual harvest is followed by maceration and soft pressing of the entire bunches.
