Details of the location

Situated at altitudes ranging from 300 to 450 meters above sea level, the vineyards face south and east. The soil consists mainly of clayey limestone gravel, which creates ideal conditions for Pinot Grigio.

From grape to wine

Vinification starts with the pressing of ripe, healthy grapes, followed by natural must clarification. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature of 18 to 20 °C. After fermentation, the wine is aged for three months on the fine lees in stainless steel tanks.

The origin of this wine

Pinot Grigio is the most cultivated white wine variety in Alto Adige. The warm climate in combination with cool nights during the ripening phase produces wines with good structure and a pleasant freshness at the same time.
