About this wine
Vineyard and terroir
The grapes grow at 400–450 m above sea level in gravelly, sandy soils.
Grapes
The Moscato Giallo is a Muscat type found in the sandy soils of South Tyrol and named "Pfefferer", meaning "peppery". It is now called Golden Muscat because its grapes take on a golden hue as they ripen.
Vinification
After harvest the grapes undergo a short maceration, then pressing. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a constant temperature.
Ageing
The wine spends a short time on fine lees in neutral vessels.
Tasting profile
Bright, refreshing taste with a pleasant aroma.
Label / history
The wine is a new rosé for the Schreckbichl Colterenzio cooperative, which takes its name from the village of Colterenzio near Girlan. The cooperative was founded in 1960 by 28 local farmers and now has more than 290 winegrowers owning around 300 ha of vineyards. Colterenzio labels show the silhouette of a 15th-century castle built by Archduke Sigismund, a wine lover who actively supported the development of vineyards in the area. The castle is now almost completely in ruins.
