About this wine
Vineyard and terroir
The grapes are drawn from several locations: selected parcels on the scree of Magrè, in Termeno and around Lake Caldaro, together with fruit from the Isarco Valley. The stated altitude range is 240–370 metres above sea level. Sandy, gravelly soils contain a high proportion of limestone.
Grapes
Gewürztraminer. Ideally, some of the fruit develops noble rot.
Vinification
The parcels are picked at different times. Harvest generally takes place comparatively early, while the grapes remain crisp and lively, supporting a style built around freshness, salinity, depth and finesse. Fermentation is spontaneous, and part of the crop is vinified as whole clusters.
Ageing
The wine matures on its lees for approximately nine months, partly in large casks and partly in stainless-steel tanks.
Technical data
2022 vintage. Alcohol: 13.5% vol.
Tasting profile
Clear golden yellow. The intensely aromatic nose combines tropical fruit, including quince and passion fruit, with spice. Full-bodied and mouth-filling, the palate is savoury-fruity and fresh, with a very persistent finish.
Serving and pairing
Pair with flavourful starters such as pâtés and terrines, grilled or fried fish and seafood, white meat, poultry, Asian dishes and cheeses. Best enjoyed within 2–8 years.
