Weingut Niklas, Alto Adige Sauvignon

 After this morning’s lovely, best-in-class Pinot value kicked off our celebration of the underrated wines of the Alto Adige, we’re following it up with a pitch perfect Sauvignon Blanc that will have you questioning all the perceived wisdom surrounding this famous variety. The best examples are from the Loire, Bordeaux, and New Zealand, right? Turns out the Alpine regions of northeastern Italy, Slovenia, and southern Austria are actually making some of the most expressive, terroir transparent versions of Sauv Blanc in the world. Case in point: The tiny estate of Weingut Niklas (yes we’re in Italy, but the Austrian influence is strong), where Dieter Sölva makes a snappy, mineral driven wine that has all the classic aromatic pizzazz that this grape is famous for. Oh, and of course the price is very, very nice. Alpine Pinot and Alpine Sauvignon Blanc–time to stock up!
