Grapes: Rhine Riesling – Alto Adige DOC
Origin: This Rhine Riesling thrives under fine microclimatic conditions and on
sandy alluvial soils with calcareous gravels in the valley floor around Cortina
s.s.d.v. Tender care of the vineyard and the well ventilated microclimate offer the
best conditions for an optimal production of this varietal, so that an excellent
quality of grapes can be guaranteed.
Yield per hectare: 55 hl.
Vinification: The grapes are pressed and the stems are removed in the
pneumatic tank press. Before being pressed, a 6 – 8 hour long cold maceration
takes place in order to enhance the fruitiness of the wine. Afterwards, the grapes
are gently pressed and clarified through the natural settling of sediments. The
alcoholic fermentation is carried out with pure strains of yeast at a controlled
temperature of 19 °C (66 °F).
Characteristic properties: An elegant white wine, characterized by interesting
flavors with fine fruitiness.

lively fullness

appetizers
