Pomino Benefizio Riserva...
Pomino Bianco Riserva DOC<br /><br />'On the road to Pomino I am thrilled every time I discover this unique corner of Tuscany: hills and cypresses suddenly give way to steep slopes, cooler temperatures in<br />summer and snow in winter, magnificent forests of firs and centuries-old sequoias surrounding the vineyards of Chardonnay, planted here since 1855. At an altitude of 700<br />metres, the Cru Benefizio, the first white wine in Italy fermented and aged in barriques, was born in 1973.'<br /><br />Climatic trend<br />The 2021 season will be remembered as a dynamic vintage. After a rainy and mild winter, which had led to a slight advance in budding, temperatures dropped sharply at the<br />beginning of April, slightly slowing the growth of the buds. From May onwards, temperatures began to rise again, leading to a summer that will be remembered for both the<br />beautiful day-night temperature range and the long period of intense heat. The grapes presented themselves at harvest in a perfect state of health, thanks to the mild<br />temperatures and low humidity.<br /><br />Vinification and ripening<br />The Benefizio vineyard is located at an altitude of 700 m above sea level, with a southern exposure and predominantly sandy soil. The Chardonnay grapes were harvested in<br />boxes by hand with extreme care and attention. Once they arrived in the cellar, the pressing they underwent was extremely soft and gentle, allowing a good extraction of<br />clear must, which was further clarified after cold decantation. The musts thus obtained were placed in barriques, 50% new and 50% first-passage, where they underwent<br />alcoholic fermentation and only partially malolactic fermentation. Subsequently, the wine matured in wood, on the lees, with bâtonnage carried out as required. After further<br />bottle ageing, Benefizio Riserva reached its maximum taste-olfactory expression in terms of elegance and harmony.<br /><br />Tasting notes<br />Elegance, expressiveness and body. Benefizio 2021 presents a wonderful straw yellow colour with golden highlights. The bouquet is varied, presenting hints of white fruit<br />such as pear, exotic fruit notes such as mango, banana and pineapple and more citrus notes of candied citron. The citrus sensation is also picked up by hints of orange<br />blossom. On the palate it is savoury and mineral, with an elegant and harmonious finish; the aromatic intensity perceived on the palate is amplified by the alcohol content<br />and the aftertaste of dried fruit. Persistent and long finish.<br />

Gewürztraminer 2009 Vigna...
Vigna<br />KOLBENHOF<br />Gewürztraminer<br /><br />The Kolbenhof Gewürztraminer shows an intense golden yellow colour with delicate greenish reflections in the glass. Aromas of ripe yellow fruits, especially peaches and<br />apricots, mingle with exotic scents of lychee, mango and passion fruit. On the palate, these fruity impressions continue, while the wine still has a fine acidity that never<br />makes it seem too lush despite its concentration. A Gewürztraminer that can convince with aromatic length.This Gewürztraminer is a selection from the best vineyards of<br />our estate Kolbenhof in Söll / Tramin. Thanks to the special microclimate, the ideal orientation and the age of its vines, the Kolbenhof estate is one of the great cru sites for<br />South Tyrolean Gewürztraminer. Only the classification 'Vigna' guarantees the origin of a site wine in South Tyrol.<br />HOFSTITY CLASSIFICATION: Site wine<br />GRAPE VARIETY: Gewürztraminer<br />SOIL: Loam and limestone gravel<br />VINIFICATIONAND RIPENESS: after delivery, the grapes are lightly crushed and the must is left in contact with the skins for a few hours to bring out the fruitiness of the<br />wine. After a gentle pressing and natural sedimentation of the lees, the must ferments at a controlled temperature. After fermentation, the Kolbenhof Gewürztraminer<br />matures for another 8 months on the fine lees. The fine yeast is stirred weekly (battonage).<br />SERVING TEMPERATURE: 8° -10° C<br />RECOMMENDATION FOR COOKING: delicious on its own, it can also be combined with crustaceans, more sophisticated fish preparations and Asian dishes.<br />

Chardonnay Riserva DOC 2019...
Complex Chardonnays from high altitudes are a rarity, but that is precisely where the appeal lies for us. Troy means 'path' in the language of our ancestors. The name<br />illustrates our long journey of research and experimentation with this noble grape variety.<br /><br />The winter ended with abundant snow in the mountains. Warmer temperatures in March and April caused premature and rather uneven budding in the well-supplied soils. A<br />cool May then delayed the flowering. In humid and hot June, a high fungal disease pressure developed, which could be contained through sensitivity and a lot of careful<br />manual work. The rest of the summer was largely dry and was only interrupted by short, heavy thunderstorms. Two hot spells had practically no negative effects. A<br />significant drop in the lowest temperatures began in mid-August. High temperature differences between day and night characterised the weather throughout the harvest. The<br />harvest took place about 14 days later than in the previous year. The white wines of the 2019 vintage show an impressive freshness, Gewürztraminer are characterised by<br />particular elegance. The red wines present a lot of fruit and a lively tannin structure. <br /><br />Grape variety: Chardonnay<br />Yield: 38 hl/hectare<br />Altitude: 500 - 550 m<br />Soil: calcareous gravel and clay soil<br />Age of vines: around 25 years, stocking on Guyot and simple, open pergola<br />Exposure: south-east<br />Climate: extreme interplay between sunny days influenced by the Mediterranean climate and night hours influenced by cold downdrafts from the surrounding mountains<br />Harvest: Beginning of October<br />Alcohol: 14,0 % vol<br />Total acidity: 6.1 g/l<br />Residual sugar: <2 g/l<br />
