Corvée 'Bisù' Trentino Sauvignon Blanc 2023

Winemaking

Corvée approaches winemaking with a focus on expressing the mineral character and freshness of the Trentino terroir. The producer favors clean, precise techniques that highlight the varietal's natural aromatics without heavy-handed intervention, allowing the high-altitude fruit to speak for itself.

Tasting Notes

This is a textbook expression of Sauvignon Blanc in its most refreshing form. The wine opens with vibrant citrus and herbaceous notes—think grapefruit zest and freshly mown grass—followed by crisp green apple on the palate. A mineral-driven backbone and bright acidity give it a lean, clean character, with subtle tropical undertones providing just enough richness to balance the wine's bracing structure. The finish is dry and persistent, trailing off with pleasant herbal complexity that lingers on the finish.

Producer

Corvée is a small winery situated in Trentino, a region known for high-altitude viticulture and precision-focused white wines. The estate operates at a modest scale, concentrating on quality rather than volume and working sustainably within the Alpine foothills to capture the region's distinctive mineral and aromatic character.

Terroir

Trentino sits in the foothills of the Italian Alps, where elevation and cool nights preserve the acidity and aromatic intensity that define the region's finest Sauvignon Blancs. The vineyards benefit from mineral-rich soils and significant diurnal temperature swings, which concentrate flavor while maintaining freshness—a hallmark of quality northern Italian whites.

Food Pairings

Pair this with a simple grilled branzino dressed with lemon and olive oil, or enjoy it alongside fresh burrata and heirloom tomatoes with basil. For a casual meal, it's equally at home with a classic Caesar salad topped with white anchovies and aged Pecorino.
