Pinot Noir from South Tyrol is different from Pinot Noir in other regions and shows a personality of its own. It is a demanding grape varietal that is doing well in our moderately elevated vineyards, producing a well-structured wine that is ruby to garnet red in colour. It aromas are intense and remind us of dark and red berries, cloves and violets. On the palate our Pinot Noir is elegant and silky, with pleasant tannin and a long finish. It is an excellent companion to roast and steamed meat dishes.

Pinot Blanc, with its elegant aromas of apples and lemon and its lively acidity is the perfect wine for almost every occasion. In the glass it has got a greenish to light yellow colour. Pinot Blanc turns out especially fresh and fruity if, right before the harvest, there are large differences in temperature between night and day. In warmer vintages Pinot Blanc is richer and more intense, with aromas of ripe fruit.

Sauvignon Blanc is a fine, lightly aromatic white wine of greenish-yellow colour with an intense nose of apples, stone fruit, pineapple and passion fruit. Its pleasant acidity, combined with a medium body and its long finish, make it an ideal companion to food.

One of South Tyrol’s oldest and most typical grape varietals, Gewürztraminer is highly aromatic. Of high quality, Gewürztraminer has distinct aromas of spices (especially cloves), roses and litchi. Its colour is straw yellow with hues of gold. Gewürztraminer has got a light acidity, but still manages to show great longevity. Ours is an excellent companion to food, especially Asian and spicy food as well as our typical South Tyrolean Speck.

Moscato Giallo is one of Italy’s indigenous grape varieties. It’s fruity with a lively acidity. From our Moscato Giallo grapes we produce our own sparkling wine “Cato”. With very little residual sugar, “Cato” is classified as brut and produced according to the traditional method - a rarity worth trying!

The name of this grape varietal is derived from French “le merle”, the blackbird. An early-ripening varietal, Merlot offers intense aromas of red and dark fruit (cherry, plum, blackcurrant) and spiciness (cloves, oregano, leather). A fruity, full-bodied wine with ripe, soft tannin and southern charm. In the glass Merlot is cherry to dark red. When drunk young, Merlot goes well with many dishes, especially mediterranean cuisine.
