Nose

The complex bouquet captivates with discreet spicy aromas, with cocoa together with wild berries and sweet cherries in the background.

Palate

Distinctive tannin structure, smooth fullness, playful yet rustic elegance and youthful freshness as well as a long, juicy finish classify the palate.

Growing Conditions

Spring 2020, with its beautiful weather and warm temperatures, with spring flowers in the garden and thick blankets of fresh snow on the mountains, has led to a relatively early development of the vines, which has levelled off with the cooler temperatures in June. After a warm mid-summer, the harvest began in the first days of September. Autumn was characterized by warm days and cool nights but also by some erratic weather, with the careful cultivation of the vineyards in early summer making itself felt. The 2020 vintage has produced wines of great Alto Adige typicity: The young white wines are characterized by fresh liveliness and clear aromatic expression, the red wines show very good structure and straightforward, fine fruit.
