Details of the location

The vineyards are located on a north-eastern slope at an altitude of 250 to 300 meters above sea level. This warm yet airy location allows the grapes to ripen completely without botrytis. The strong soil consists mainly of loamy limestone gravel.

From grape to wine

Vinification begins with whole-cluster pressing of ripe and healthy grapes. This is followed by slow fermentation at a controlled temperature of 18 °C, with the wine being fermented both in large oak barrels and in stainless steel tanks. After fermentation, the wine ages for 6 months on the fine lees.

The wine in the glass

− light straw-yellow color
− ripe pear, hazelnut, honeydew melon and a hint of vanilla on the nose
− the wine is round and smooth on the palate, with light undertones of wood on the finish

The perfect accompaniment

Soll Pinot Grigio is an excellent accompaniment to mushroom dishes, such as chanterelle risotto, as well as various fish dishes and seafood. It also harmonizes well with poultry dishes, light salads and slightly spicy dishes such as antipasti or spicy Asian cuisine.

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.
