Questo vino
Vineyard and terroir
Penon lies above Magrè at 500–600 m, with an east/south-east exposure. Its soil consists entirely of limestone gravel with a high proportion of humus. The Mediterranean climate and cool descending winds lengthen the growing season and allow a late harvest in mid-October.
Grapes
100% Pinot Bianco.
Vinification
The grapes are harvested by hand. After clarification, the must ferments at low temperature for approximately three weeks in stainless-steel tanks.
Ageing
The young wine matures on its lees for a further seven months in 30 hl oak barrels.
Technical data
Alto Adige DOC.
Tasting profile
Straw yellow with good depth. Fresh Golden Delicious apple and kiwi lead the aroma, followed by aromatic herbs and hawthorn. The close-knit palate combines marked crispness and savoury character with enveloping acidity.
Serving and pairing
Serve at 10–12 °C with spicy beef or cold noodle salads. Store at 10–13 °C with at least 60% humidity.
