Our Pinot Grigio Riserva Giatl comes from selected individual vineyards in the location Giatl, stocked with vines grafted to slow growing rootstock and trained on wire trellises (Guyot). This extraordinary Pinot Grigio flourishes under outstanding cool mountain climatic conditions on a stony, sandy and extremely chalky soil that is very conducive to this Burgundy variety and creates a very fine and storable white wine. The Pinot Grigio Riserva Giatl is mainly aged in large wooden barrels, rests for a long time on the fine yeast and gains in complexity and density. This wine becomes a special experience even after several years of aging. Finally, our Pinot Grigio Riserva Giatl is the only Riserva wine of this grape variety in Alto Adige. It is a uniqueness that makes this Burgundy variety increasingly exciting.

Peter ZemmerAlto Adige Chardonnay DOC Buchholz

The name chosen for this geographical unit derives from the historical name "Buchholz" for the valley slopes above Salorno in the lowlands of Alto Adige, which is already documented in the historical cartography of the cadastre of 1858. This wine, full of character, comes from selected vineyards in this terraced area of dolomite sedimentary rock at an altitude of 400 to 800 metres above sea level (1.300 to 2.600 feet). Buchholz represents a very heterogeneous wine-growing area whose morphological and soil-climatic diversity guarantees a special location for the cultivation of the Chardonnay variety. The climatic conditions are characteristic of this region. The temperature in the higher areas is about 6 °C (43 °F) lower than in the areas at the bottom of the valley. From April to October there are constant air movements of two land winds blowing at certain times of the day: a warmer afternoon wind from the south ("Ora") and a cool breeze in the morning hours from the north.
