2010 Voglar

Peter Dipoli
Discount Eligible $32.00
SOLD OUT
Voglar is Dipoli’s incredible Sauvignon Blanc dell’Alto Adige, as interpreted from his native soils. Grown on near-vertical, high-altitude dolomitic limestone slopes, his Sauvignon can mature at a glacial pace and obtain perfect ripeness while preserving the freshness and vibrancy that is the variety’s trademark. For the final touch, it is aged patiently in large acacia casks until release. The result is one of the world’s mightiest Sauvignon Blancs, in my opinion. I try to resist the urge to compare it to any others, however, as I like to think of it as its own category of “Mountain Sauvignon.” Ripe and luscious aromatics lead to a graceful, concentrated palate with an intense and lengthy finish that is bracingly and deeply mineral. Sauvignon dell’Alto Adige indeed. Please don’t miss it. –Dixon Brooke

About The Region

Alto Adige

map of Alto Adige

In the heart of the Dolomites, Alto Adige is Italy’s northernmost wine region. Having changed hands multiples times in its history between Italy and the Austro-Hungarian Empire (it shares a border with Austria), it boasts strong Germanic influence on its culture, language, cuisine, as well as its wines.

The mountainous geography is the principal determinant of local winemaking styles, with the high-altitude vineyards and cool Alpine climate favoring primarily crisp, racy, aromatic whites from varieties like Kerner, Sauvignon, Müller Thurgau, and Grüner Veltliner. A Mediterranean influence on climate is channeled north up the valley until Bolzano, permitting the cultivation of certain reds as well, among which Schiava, Lagrein, Pinot Nero, and Merlot fare best.

Small growers who once sold fruit to the area’s multiple co-ops are now increasingly bottling their own wines. The arrival of many quality-oriented artisans on the scene caught our eye years ago, and we now count three estates from Südtirol, as it is also known, in our portfolio. These high-acid mountain wines make for a beautifully invigorating aperitivo with thinly sliced speck, a local specialty.
