- Origin
- Südtirol DOC, Südtirol, Italy
The grapes come from high-altitude vineyard sites around Terlan, planted on volcanic quartz porphyry with sandy-clayey, stony soils. Following hand harvesting and gentle whole-bunch pressing, the must ferments slowly at a controlled temperature. The wine matures for nine months on the fine lees, half in large oak casks and half in stainless steel tanks; the assemblage takes place three months before bottling. It shows mango, papaya, lime, grapefruit, herbs and flint, combined with lively acidity, dense texture, mineral length and a salty finish.
