Meran is a renowned winery located in the Merano region, in the province of South Tyrol, in northern Italy. Founded in 1952, the winery has become a major player in South Tyrol's wine production. Meran Graf Sauvignon Blanc originates from the Cermes, Lagundo, Marlengo, and Tirolo growing areas, situated at altitudes between 450 and 550 meters. The grapes enjoy the sun, and thanks to the unique soil conditions, they develop distinctive grapes. The vinification process for Meran Graf Sauvignon Blanc begins with a 12-hour cold maceration, allowing the grapes to reveal their aromatic potential.
