Description
Pasithea Oro Gewürztraminer Late Harvest Alto Adige DOC
Pasithea Oro Gewürztraminer Late Harvest Alto Adige DOC by Girlan is a sweet wine of great personality, made from selected Gewürztraminer grapes harvested late and interpreted with a rich, enveloping, and refined style. It is a bottle designed for those seeking a meditation or dessert wine capable of combining aromatic intensity, balance, and a pleasant gustatory complexity.
Territory and wine style
The grapes come from a single vineyard near Lake Monticolo, in the Cornaiano area, in Alto Adige. This context favors the ideal conditions for the development of noble rot, an element that contributes to the sweet and concentrated profile of the wine. The manual harvest at the end of November expresses the desire to bring ripe and selected bunches to the winery, while the long aging in small oak barrels adds depth and harmony to the final result. The result is an elegant Gewürztraminer, built on concentration, softness, and aromatic finesse.
Tasting notes
In the glass, it presents an intense golden color, consistent with the type and late harvest. The bouquet is rich and multifaceted: notes of dried fruit, ripe apricot, and quince emerge, accompanied by a citrus nuance that adds freshness to the olfactory profile. On the palate, the wine is full, soft, and decidedly sweet, with a structure that supports the sugary richness without being heavy. The acidity helps to balance the sweetness and keep the drink more dynamic. The finish is long, persistent, and consistent with a style of great dessert wine.
Recommended pairings
Pasithea Oro Gewürztraminer Late Harvest Alto Adige DOC pairs elegantly with fruit-based desserts, tarts, dry pastries, and not overly aggressive spoon desserts.

Thanks to its structure, it can also accompany dedicated tasting moments, serving as a refined conclusion to an important dinner.
Serving temperature
