The 2024 Corvée Trentino "Bisù" Sauvignon Blanc is an elegant, high-altitude mountain white wine from the Trentino-Alto Adige region in Northern Italy. Produced by the Corvée Winery in the Cembra Valley, this wine is known for its distinct alpine freshness and mineral-rich volcanic profile.
Profile Overview
Grape Variety: 100% Sauvignon Blanc.
Origin: Altavalle municipality, Trentino DOC, Italy.
Terroir: Cultivated at a high altitude of 602 meters above sea level in a warm, dry microclimate featuring fast-draining, mineral-dense volcanic soils.
Tasting Notes & Character
Unlike heavy or overly grassy New World styles, the "Bisù" delivers a more delicate, precise mountain personality.
Aromas: Delicate, layered notes of elderflower, lychee, mango, and vibrant exotic fruits.
Palate: Crisp and highly thirst-quenching with a distinct, decisive smoky or flinty undertone derived from its volcanic terroir.
Structure: A sinuous, medium-bodied white balanced by sharp alpine acidity and a persistent, clean finish.
Winemaking Process
Fermentation: Conducted at controlled temperatures in stainless steel tanks to preserve the bright purity of the Sauvignon Blanc fruit.
Aging: Left to mature on the lees for roughly 8 months inside second- and third-use French oak tonneux (large casks), which imparts texture and complexity without overwhelming the fresh varietal characteristics.
Food Pairings
The vibrant acidity and subtle smoky finish make this vintage highly versatile. It pairs beautifully with:
Light seafood appetizers or raw fish.
Fresh goat cheese and herb-driven salads.
Light pasta dishes with pesto or spring vegetables.
Asparagus risottos or poultry-based dishes.
