Maso Michei is situated in a remote high-mountain area in southern Trentino. The 13 hectares of vineyards, purchased by Martin Foradori in 2017, grow at altitudes between 790 and 850 metres with a sunny, south-facing aspect. At this altitude, which is significant and challenging for viticulture, the vines grow slowly and the grapes ripen late, producing fresh, fruity and long-lived wines. Sauvignon Blanc is at its best in cool climates, and Hofstätter’s Michei is no exception. 100ml: E = 320 kJ/77kcal
A white wine with pronounced minerality, revealing its youth in the greenish hues that envelop a brilliant straw-yellow colour. This freshness is echoed on the nose, where the variety’s characteristic elderflower is accompanied by darker notes of gooseberry and redcurrant, with a flinty finish. The palate is vibrant, mineral and savoury, supported by perfectly balanced acidity.
A wine to be enjoyed every day, at the start of a meal or paired with medium-bodied dishes featuring fish and shellfish.
To fully appreciate its style, this wine should be served at a temperature of 10–12°C.
