Tasting profile (AI-generated)
Structure: full-bodied, low tannin, medium acidity, dry
La Castellada is a benchmark producer in Collio known for skin-contact, amber-hued whites made with long maceration and minimal intervention. Their Sauvignon departs from the grassy, aromatic style typical of the grape, instead showing honeyed texture, dried herb and orchard fruit notes, and a savory, structured palate built for food rather than immediate freshness. Expect a wine of weight and complexity rather than crisp, fruity varietal character.
