Growing Conditions

The grapes for the white wine Blaturum are cultivated in a natural way with great diligence, passion and love. The vineyards are located on the south-exposed vineyard sites of the wine village S. Maddalena near Bolzano at an altitude of about 300 m above sea level and have a gravelly moraine soil. The vine stocks are grown according to the traditional South Tyrolean pergola-system. Due to the situation on the steep slopes a high amount of manual labour is needed.

Harvest

The grapes from selected vines are harvested by hand Mid September.


Winemaking

The grapes are crushed and pressed carefully. Part of the must is fermented in a steel barrel and part in barrique barrels. It is stored on the fine yeast with bâtonnage. After several months, the wine is gently bottled.
