Territory and style of the wine

This wine is born in Terlano, in the heart of Alto Adige DOC, in a territory suited for the production of characterful whites. The Gewürztraminer grapes come from vineyards located between 300 and 400 meters above sea level on sandy soils of porphyritic origin, elements that help define an aromatic yet well-structured style. The vinification, carried out partly in steel and partly in oak barrels, with maturation on the lees for ten months, adds complexity and depth without sacrificing varietal clarity.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it presents a light straw yellow color, enhanced by intense and brilliant golden reflections. The bouquet is rich and refined, with notes of rose petals, broom, lime, lychee, orange, and tropical and exotic nuances. On the palate, the wine is dry, soft, and elegant, very full and enveloping, with good structure and a long aromatic persistence. The spicy component and the saline sensation amplify its harmony, making it complex yet always pleasant and approachable.

Recommended pairings

Serving temperature
