Territory and wine style

This wine is born in South Tyrol, from selected vineyards located between 450 and 550 meters above sea level, on gravelly, sandy, and medium-textured soils with limestone deposits. The Gewürztraminer grapes find here a particularly favorable context, allowing for the development of intense aromas without losing momentum and precision. The winemaking process involves a brief cold maceration, gentle pressing, and fermentation in steel, followed by aging on the lees and bottle maturation that contribute to the complexity of the sip.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it presents with an intense straw yellow. The bouquet is rich and fine, with hints of dog rose, yellow roses, nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves, ripe oranges, and lemons. On the palate, it shows body, spicy character, and a lively acidity that supports the aromatic structure well. The result is a wine that is enveloping but never heavy, with a clean, fragrant, and persistent finish, capable of evolving interestingly over time.
