Lime, honey.
This full-bodied Müller-Thurgau Vendemmia Tardiva is a wine of great depth, persistence, and density with a lively freshness. The balanced interplay of minerality and structure facilitates an enjoyable drinkability and positively influences/enhances/supports the aging potential.
- Elevation of the vineyard: 1000 m a.s.l.
- Hofstatt, Favogna di Sotto, Magrè
- Southern exposure
- Soil: heterogeneous glacier moraine rock. Silty-loamy sand, porphyry, granite foundlings, dolomite and limestone.
The exposed site of the single vineyard at 1.000 meters (3,280 feet) above sea-level with autumnal morning dew and high humidity provide ideal conditions for the development of prized noble rot ‘Botrytis cinerea’ which causes a natural concentration of the juice. The grapes are harvested mid to end of December before Christmas.
The gently pressing of the berries is followed by the fermentation which occurs in a small steel tank over a six-month period on the fine lees. The bottled wine matures for another five
years in the cellar.
- 6 months in a small steel tank on the fine lees
