Nose
fruit-dominant nose reminiscent of cherry, raspberry, and strawberry, with a hint of bitter almonds
Palate
full, soft structure, pleasant, elegant tannins give the wine length, finishes with a lingering echo of ripe fruit
Growing Conditions
The selected vineyards in St. Josef am See with historic vines lie between 230 and 350 meters above sea level. The soil consists of heat-retaining, loamy limestone gravel with a sandy layer
Winemaking
Mash fermentation occurs at 24 °C with a 12-day maceration period. This is followed by malolactic fermentation and 6 months of ageing on the fine lees, both in stainless steel and large wooden barrels.
Appearance
brilliant, deep ruby red
Food Pairing
An extremely versatile food companion that not only pairs perfectly with traditional Alto Adige cold cuts, but also with classic Italian dishes such as spaghetti all‘Amatriciana or pizza. It also pairs well with white meat, grilled fish, and vegetables. Best enjoyed slightly chilled.
