Growing Conditions
The Pinot Grigio is a selection of the best vineyards of the valley floor and steep slopes near the vineyard estate. It flourishes under outstanding climatic conditions on calcareous gravels from moraine sediments on the hills and sandy alluvial soils in the valley bottom. The poor yield per hectare and the particular terroir are responsible for the outstanding quality of the wine. The fascinating interplay between tradition and innovation, man and the surroundings, sense and sensuality finds expression in the passion and sensitivity with which Peter Zemmer brings this wine to life.
Harvest
Beginning of September
Winemaking
After the grapes arrive, they are gently pressed and clarified through the natural settling of sediments. The alcoholic fermentation is carried out with pure strains of yeast at a controlled temperature of 18 °C (64 °F) in stainless steel tanks. After several months of ripening on the yeast this elegant wine achieves its perfection.
