Questo vino
Vineyard and terroir
Chardonnay is hand-harvested from high-altitude vineyards at Sorni, Pressano di Lavis and in the upper Valle di Cembra. The climate and pronounced diurnal temperature shifts promote full ripening while retaining marked acidity and aromatic freshness.
Grapes
100% Chardonnay, made as a blanc de blancs.
Vinification
Whole bunches are gently pressed, and the must undergoes cold static settling before fermentation in stainless steel at 16°C with selected yeasts for about 10 days. The base wine remains on yeast until the following spring. Selected yeasts are added again for secondary fermentation in bottle according to the traditional method and Trento DOC rules.
Ageing
Siris matures on the lees for 36 months, gaining structure, elegance and complexity.
Tasting profile
Bright yellow with green highlights. The intense, fresh bouquet combines Golden Delicious apple and wildflowers with delicate notes of yeast and dried fruit. The palate is fresh, fragrant, dry, harmonious and velvety, with an extremely fine and persistent bead and a mineral character.
Serving and pairing
Serve at 6–8°C and open at the moment of service. Ideal as an aperitif and for celebrations, yet suitable throughout a meal, particularly with fish and shellfish.
Label / history
Siris was Gaierhof’s first sparkling wine.
