Territory and wine style

This Alto Adige DOC wine originates from selected vineyards located at about 450-550 meters above sea level, on gravelly, sandy, and medium-textured soils with limestone and clay deposits. A context that favors slow ripening and a beautiful aromatic definition, fundamental elements for a quality Gewürztraminer. The choice of a short cold maceration, followed by fermentation in steel and aging on the lees, helps to enhance intensity, clarity, and depth, without sacrificing freshness.

Tasting notes

On the nose, it offers a rich and fine bouquet, where yellow roses, dog rose, nutmeg, cloves, cinnamon, along with hints of ripe oranges and lemons emerge. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, spicy, and well-defined, with a lively acidity that supports the drinking experience and extends the finish. The texture is enveloping but not heavy, and the closure leaves a persistent, elegant, and harmonious sensation.
