Gewürztraminer 'Kastelaz'...

Gewürztraminer 'Kastelaz'...

Gewürztraminer Vigna 'Kastelaz' 2020<br /><br />The Vigna 'Kastelaz' is a unique steep slope directly above the wine village of Tramin and is one of the exclusive southern vineyards of South Tyrol. A 'Vigna' is an<br />additional designation of origin; the term stands for a precisely delineated and mapped vineyard. Due to its extreme slope of up to 63 degrees, the Vigna 'Kastelaz' is<br />elaborately laid out in narrow terraces. Moreover, it is entirely south-facing - a rarity in South Tyrol. Kastelaz is a side fan of postglacial origin and consists of a layered<br />structure of loose limestone soils interspersed with sand and hard rock such as granite and porphyry. The microclimatic conditions of the Vigna 'Kastelaz' are also rich in<br />contrasts: during the day the vines can benefit from the warm, extremely sunny southern exposure, while from late afternoon a strong wind and later the fresh evening<br />mountain air provide cool temperatures. Here, between 330 and 380 metres above sea level and with extremely low vine yields, some of Elena Walch's absolute top wines<br />are produced.<br /><br />'The Gewürztraminer Vigna 'Kastelaz' has long been one of the most famous Gewürztraminers on the international scene. It presents itself with a rich, golden yellow colour<br />and a beguilingly complex bouquet: elegant and mineral, with aromas of roses and lychee as well as some acacia honey in the background. The wine is also convincing and<br />complex on the palate: with an elegant structure, stimulating acidity, harmonious, spicy freshness and a delicate, juicy finish. A wine with a lot of finesse and character!'<br /><br />LESE 2020<br />Spring 2020, with its beautiful weather and warm temperatures, spring flowers in the garden and thick blanket of fresh snow on the mountains, led to the relatively early<br />development of the vines, which settled down again with the cooler temperatures in June. After a warm midsummer, the harvest started in the first days of September. The<br />autumn was characterised by warm days and cool nights, but also by some freak weather, whereby the careful cultivation of the vineyards in early summer was noticeable.<br />The 2020 vintage resulted in wines of great South Tyrolean typicity: The young white wines stand out with fresh liveliness and clear aromatic expression, the red wines show<br />very good structure and straight, fine fruit.<br />VINIFICATION Before pressing, the grapes are left to macerate for about 6 hours. Gentle pressing and static pre-clarification of the must by cooling. Fermentation in steel<br />tank at controlled temperature of 18°C, long contact with yeast after fermentation.<br /><br />Grape variety: 100% Gewürztraminer<br />Alcohol: 14,00% Vol<br />Denomination: South Tyrol DOC<br />Residual sugar: 7,8 g/L<br />Total acidity: 5,5 g/L<br />Shelf life: 3-8 years<br />

Vinsanto Chianti Classico...

Vinsanto Chianti Classico...

Marchese Antinori Vinsanto Chianti Classico DOC 2016<br /><br />Climate: After an autumn and winter that tended to be mild and not very rainy, spring 2016 began with good weather in Chianti Classico, bringing bud break about 10 days<br />earlier than the historical average. Starting in May and during the first half of June, rainfall and average cool temperatures were recorded, but did not affect the decisive<br />phases of flowering and fruit set. The summer up to the end of August was hot, dry and without heat peaks: optimal conditions for maintaining an excellent vegetative-<br />productive balance and ensuring constant growth of the grapes. Harvesting took place between 7 and 10 September.<br /><br />Vinification: the grapes, sourced exclusively from the vineyards of the Antinori estates in Chianti Classico, were carefully selected and harvested in boxes; they were then<br />placed by hand on the special mats of the appassitoio (drying room) of the Tignanello estate or on the penzane of the Pèppoli estate (mobile frames where the bunches are<br />hung in suspension). The grapes, left to dry until the end of December, were then softly pressed in order to maintain their organoleptic and aromatic characteristics. The<br />must obtained was put into the typical 'caratelli', made from different types of wood and with a capacity varying between 50 and 200 litres, where the long, slow alcoholic<br />fermentation took place. The wine remained in the kegs for about 3 years and was then blended and finally bottled.<br /><br />Historical data: The production of Vinsanto in Tuscany dates back at least to medieval times: it is considered a true regional speciality and the Antinori family has always<br />produced it. The first vintage of Vinsanto Tenute Marchese Antinori (a 'natural' production vinsanto) was, however, 1987.<br /><br />Tasting Notes: The Marchese Antinori Vinsanto has a dark amber colour with golden reflections. On the nose sweet notes of dried fruit, such as hazelnut and date, combine<br />with an intense sensation of candied orange, honey, and a slight hint of cinnamon. On the palate it is full, soft, supported by a pleasant freshness that makes it lively and<br />pleasant. Good persistence on the palate.<br />

Nosiola CESCONI 750ml IGT

Nosiola CESCONI 750ml IGT

Nosiola is the only autochthonous white variety in Trentino, present since the time of the Council of Trent. The origin of the name has not yet been clarified. Many maintain<br />that it derives its name from hazelnut, due to the colour of the grapes when ripe, while others believe that it is the aroma of the wines that recalls that of wild hazelnuts.<br />What we do know is that it is a versatile variety, which like few others in the world can produce both great sweet wines and still white wines with a savoury character that<br />can age for many decades.<br /><br />Once widespread throughout the province, Nosiola was mainly grown on the Pressano hill and in the Valle dei Laghi. In recent times, the variety has undergone a major<br />downsizing in favour of international varieties to the extent that it has become almost 'rare'. Today it covers a cultivated area of only 65 hectares. As winegrowers, attached<br />to our territory and our traditions, we are happy to contribute to its preservation.<br /><br />Type of wine: White wine<br />Format: (Litres) 0.75<br />Production area: Nosiola is planted in the highest vineyards on the edge of the forest at an altitude of about 500 metres to the north-east of Pressano. Nosiola flowers early<br />and prefers high, well-ventilated and sunny areas. The vineyard is west-facing and has loose soil on a deep, fertile dolomite dejection cone. The vines have an average age of<br />35 years and are trained to the simple pergola system, with a density of about 3500 plants per hectare.<br />Vinification Part of the grapes are destemmed and macerated for 4-5 days until the 'cap rises'. At this point a cuvèe is made from the directly pressed grapes and<br />fermentation continues partly in stainless steel containers and partly in large acacia barrels. The acacia wood allows us to combine the advantages of vinification in wood<br />with the preservation of the fine and delicate bouquet of Nosiola. The wine remains in contact with its own yeast for about 9 months before being bottled at the end of the<br />summer.<br />

<br />Unterebner<br />SELECTION<br /><br />Unterebner Pinot Grigio has stood for our winery's pursuit of top quality since 1989. This wine reveals the surprising finesse and elegance of this grape variety and gives it an<br />alpine touch, away from fashions and trends.<br />'Unterebner goes much further and deeper than a conventional Pinot Grigio, it offers far more complexity than you can imagine from this grape variety!'<br /><br />Grape variety: Ruländer (Pinot Grigio)<br />Yield: 50 hl/hectare<br />Altitude: 400 - 600 m<br />Exposure: south-east 85%, south 15%.<br />Harvest: Mid-September<br />Soil: calcareous gravel with clay soil, porphyry rocks in the subsoil<br />Age of the vines: 10 - 30 years<br />Climate: extreme interplay between sunny days dominated by the Mediterranean climate and night hours dominated by cold downdrafts from the surrounding mountains.<br /><br />Serving temperature: 12-14° C<br />Residual sugar: 3,1 g/l<br />Total acidity: 5.5 g/l<br />Alcohol: 14,5 % vol<br />Shelf life: 07 - 10 years<br />

Gewürztraminer Passito DOP...

Gewürztraminer Passito DOP...

Vinification<br /><br />The grapes are harvested in September and left to dry for 4 months in a well-ventilated room. In December, the dried grapes are selected again. Drying results in a 2/3<br />weight loss, as well as a concentration of sugar, aromas, acidity and tannins. Due to the high sugar content, the yeast cannot carry out the fermentation completely and<br />thus a natural residual sweetness remains. After a fermentation of 6 weeks, a longer bottle fermentation takes place.<br />Tasting<br /><br />The 'Cashmere' Gewürztraminer Passito presents itself with a golden yellow colour with a light amber hue. Its bouquet is exquisite and intensely aromatic: dried apricots,<br />candied fruits, rose petals, a hint of orange and caramel. On the palate, the Passito is very concentrated, with a harmonious interplay between inviting sweetness and<br />refreshing acidity, elegant and of exquisite level.<br />

San Giovanni della Sala...

San Giovanni della Sala...

San Giovanni Della Sala<br />Orvieto DOC Classico Superiore<br /><br /><br />Climate: 2020 will be remembered as a tendentially dry year. The winter, almost completely devoid of rain, was dominated by temperatures that were not too cold. The<br />spring weather, which arrived slightly later than in previous years, was characterised by mild days and temperatures above seasonal averages, with the exception of a few<br />cooler periods at the beginning of April. Then, from June until almost mid-August, the warm and dry weather led to an early ripening of the grapes. A summer thunderstorm<br />towards the end of August refreshed the later varieties such as Grechetto and Procanico, ensuring that they reached a good degree of ripeness while maintaining freshness<br />and fragrance. The harvest of Grechetto, Viognier and Pinot Bianco for San Giovanni della Sala began around the last week of August and ended with the harvest of<br />Procanico towards the middle of September.<br /><br /><br />Vinification: on arrival at the winery, the grapes were vinified separately by variety to enhance the varietal characteristics. Part of the must underwent cold maceration,<br />remaining in contact with its skins for about 6 hours at a temperature of 10 °C, before being combined with the must obtained from the soft direct pressing of the grapes. The<br />must thus obtained was transferred to stainless steel tanks where alcoholic fermentation took place at a controlled temperature of 16 °C. The wine remained on its lees for a<br />few months to improve its structure, elegance and minerality until it was blended and bottled.<br /><br />Historical data: San Giovanni was born from the vineyards of the ancient Castello della Sala from the union of indigenous Grechetto and Procanico grapes with those of Pinot<br />Bianco and Viognier to tell the Orvieto Classico according to a new style. The first vintage of Castello della Sala Orvieto Classico was 1990.<br /><br />Tasting notes: San Giovanni della Sala has a light straw yellow colour with greenish reflections. On the nose, pleasant notes of tropical fruit combine with light mineral<br />sensations. On the palate it stands out for its balance between structure and freshness with good flavour and a pleasant persistence of yellow flesh fruit.<br /><br />Alcohol content: 12.0% Vol.<br />

Vin Santo 375ml SALVETTA 2009

Vin Santo 375ml SALVETTA 2009

Vin Santo<br /><br />Historical evidence tells of the existence of Vino Santo as early as the 16th century in the vicinity of Castel Toblino, and it is certain that a Vino Santo Puro was produced<br />from the Rauten vineyards in Sarche as early as 1825 (diploma Melbourne Australia 1880-1881).<br /><br />The ancient tradition, masterfully perpetrated up to the Salvetta brothers, comes back to life with the Salvetta Winery: the long and complex process leads to the birth of this<br />great meditation wine.<br /><br />Harvested late, in fact, the Nosiola bunches are left to rest in well-ventilated areas on the 'Arele', the racks on which the grapes dry naturally for several months, until they<br />are pressed during Holy Week, between March and April of the year following the harvest. The wine is then left to ferment and refine for five years in oak barrels and steel,<br />until bottling.<br /><br />The result is a sweet wine to be enjoyed at a temperature of 10 - 12 degrees, on its own or with dry desserts. The combination with blue cheeses and foie gras is<br />exceptional.<br /><br />The vintages currently being aged are those of the 2014, 2015 and 2016 harvests, while the 2009 and 2011 vintages are on sale.<br />
