Territory and wine style

This Gewurztraminer is born in Alto Adige DOC from selected vineyards located at about 450-550 meters above sea level. The soils, gravelly and sandy, of medium texture, with limestone and clay deposits, contribute to giving momentum, precision, and complexity to the sip. The choice of harvesting from selected parcels, combined with careful vinification, enhances the wine's style: aromatic, clear, and with a taste texture that focuses on the balance between richness and freshness.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it presents a deep straw yellow, bright and consistent with its varietal nature. On the nose, a rich and fine bouquet emerges, with notes of yellow roses and dog rose, nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves, ripe oranges, and lemons. On the palate, it is full, spicy, and enveloping, supported by a lively acidity that provides balance and continuity to the drinking experience. The structure is present yet elegant, with a persistent and pleasantly incisive aromatic finish.
