Origin
Pinot Grigio (also known as Ruländer) is the most widely cultivated white wine variety in Alto Adige. The combination of warm climate and cool nights in the ripening phase produces wines with a good structure and pleasant freshness.
Vintage
Dopo una primavera piovosa e un inizio d'estate piuttosto lento, agosto ha portato la tanto attesa svolta: Giornate soleggiate e calde hanno favorito la maturazione delle uve e hanno permesso alle varietà precoci di raggiungere un'ottima qualità. La vendemmia è iniziata a fine agosto in condizioni quasi perfette, accompagnata da un tempo stabile fino a settembre. Con l'inizio della pioggia in autunno, la vendemmia dei vini rossi tardivi è diventata più impegnativa a causa delle difficili condizioni meteorologiche. Nonostante ciò, l'annata ha prodotto vini bianchi entusiasmanti e vini rossi precoci di notevole qualità.
Tasting notes
– brilliant yellow
– fruit-dominated nose, with overtones of pineapple, banana and ripe pears
– full-bodied with a juicy, voluptuous character, ripe notes of fruit on the finish
Recommendation
This wine pairs perfectly with mushroom dishes, fish and seafood. We also recommend it as an aperitif.
Vinification
Whole-cluster pressing of ripe and healthy grapes, natural must clarification, fermentation at a controlled temperature of 18-20 °C, 3-month ageing on the fine lees in stainless steel.
Vineyard
Steep, sloping vineyards with southerly and easterly expositions between 300 and 450 meters above sea level. Loamy, chalky gravel, heat-retaining and well-drained soils
