Gewürztraminer Late Harvest Exilissi Sell Alto Adige DOC

The Gewürztraminer Late Harvest Exilissi Sell by Baron di Pauli is a white wine of great personality, born from very ripe grapes and interpreted with a rich, enveloping, and deeply territorial style. The late harvest gives aromatic concentration and a pleasant sensation of breadth, making this wine ideal for those seeking an important, elegant white that can leave a mark.

Territory and wine style

This Alto Adige DOC comes from the Sella area, a fraction of Termeno, a region particularly suited to Gewürztraminer. The Höfl unterm Stein vineyard is located on a southeast-facing hill, between 480 and 550 meters above sea level, on clayey limestone soil with vines over 30 years old. These conditions, combined with a warm and sunny autumn, have favored a complete ripening of the grapes and a late harvest of remarkable intensity. The style is that of a meditation wine and for refined dining, rich but balanced by a mineral finish.

Tasting notes

In the glass, the wine expresses itself with a typically aromatic and concentrated profile. The bouquet recalls sultana grapes, ripe apricot, and spices, with nuances that tell of the full maturity of the fruit. On the palate, it is very soft, enveloping, and seductive, yet not lacking in tension: the sip finds balance in a measured freshness and a long, mineral, and persistent finish. It is a wine that combines aromatic opulence and precision, with a rich and harmonious flavor progression.

Recommended pairings

The Gewürztraminer Late Harvest Exilissi Sell pairs effectively with foie gras, blue cheeses, cheese-based pasta, slightly spicy Asian cuisine, and dishes with a sweet and sour character. It also expresses itself well with duck preparations, shellfish in aromatic sauces, and not overly sweet desserts, especially if played on dried fruit, apricot, or sweet spices. Its richness makes it interesting as a dessert wine as well.

Serving temperature

Serve the Gewürztraminer Late Harvest Exilissi Sell at a temperature of 10-12 °C, to enhance both its aromatic component and its taste softness. It does not require long aeration but can benefit from a few minutes in the glass to progressively open up.
