James Suckling 90pt

Fresh, simple aromas of nectarines, chalk and touches of sour cream and lees. Medium-bodied with creamy fruit and a lightly saline finish.

by James Suckling, 2024

Tasting notes

Straw yellow with glints of green, fruity aroma on the nose of ripe pear and apple. On the palate, this wine is soft, refined, and elegant.

Soil

Calcareous pebbly soil

Age of vines

5 to 35 years.

Background

This wine is all the rage right now, an international bestseller – especially as a major export to the United States and Great Britain. The grape, which actually originates from Burgundy, loves not only the climate in South Tyrol, but also the soil conditions. It has found a second homeland here, and has become the most widely planted grape variety. It is appreciated for its freshness, nice acidity and pleasant, lingering aftertaste.

Food pairing

The uncomplicated aperitif wine is often drunk at trendy parties and scene events. Combines perfectly with baked curd praline on tomato carpaccio. Serve between 8 and 10 degrees Celcius.

Harvest

Mid to end of september; harvest and selection of grapes by hand.

Vinification

Fermentation and partially malolactic fermentation in stainless-steel tanks.
