Territory and style of the wine

This wine is born from a selection of grapes from a single vineyard of the Kolbenhof estate, in Tramin-Termeno, an area historically linked to Gewürztraminer. The Alto Adige DOC designation enhances a vocated context, where the microclimate and the position of the vineyard help to best express the character of the grape variety. The clay and limestone gravel soil contributes to a clear and territorial reading of the wine, while the vinification with brief skin contact and aging on fine lees enrich its structure and complexity.

On the palate, the wine shows fruity concentration, good finesse, and an acidity capable of maintaining balance and momentum. The texture is enveloping but not excessively heavy, with a persistent finish and a very defined aromatic typicity.
