Product notes

''Gschleie'' is one of the best-known wine regions of South Tyrol. The vines are between 80 and 110 years old and grow at an altitude of 450 m, on calcareous, clayey-gravelly soils. The position and exposure of the hillside ensure optimal sunshine which gives rise to a wine with great aging potential.

Production notes

The grapes are picked by hand. Destemming and slow fermentation of musts (15-20 days) in stainless steel vats (gravity). Malolic fermentation and aging for 9 months in large wooden barrels and 6 months in the bottle.

Tasting notes

This Vernatsch is unique. It is elegant and full-bodied with tannins on black fruit such as redcurrant with a touch of spice. A wine with exceptional aging potential. Pairings with charcuterie, barbecue and tuna.

Press reviews

James Suckling
James Suckling, January 2024 (Vintage 2022)

Bright pale ruby in the glass, this vernatsch shows amazing freshness, with flowers, grapefruit zest, red currants and white pepper. With fruit to the fore, the palate flows silky and smooth with a biting finish, a lot of crunchiness and good, polished length. Drink now.
