EPOKALE Südt....

Epokale was the first Italian white wine to be awarded 100 points by Robert Parker's Wine Advocate. This wine contradicts the classic idea of a South Tyrolean<br />Gewürztraminer, redefines boundaries and impressively shows what this great variety is capable of.<br />Mild temperatures in spring brought about an early start of vegetation. The summer months were decidedly sunny and dry. Cool nights ensured that the physiological<br />ripeness could nevertheless develop in a balanced way. Thanks to a cool September, the ripening process was delayed so that an excellent harvest with optimally ripened<br />grapes took place. The elegant white wines show a pronounced juiciness, variety of aromas and depth, the intense reds offer plenty of fruit and character.<br /><br />Grape variety: Gewürztraminer<br />Yield: 29 hl/hectare<br />Altitude: 420 - 440 m<br />Exposure: south-east<br />Harvest: End of October<br />Soil: calcareous gravel with clay soil, subsoil rocks of porphyry<br />Age of the vines: oldest Guyot stock, from over 20 years to almost 30 years old<br />Climate: extreme interplay between sunny days dominated by the Mediterranean climate and night hours dominated by cold downdrafts from the surrounding mountains<br />

Champagne Dom Pérignon...

<br />THE CREATIVE ACT<br />of 2006<br />The weather conditions in 2006 were variable, but on the whole hot and dry. While July proved to be an incredibly sultry month, August was characterised by rain and<br />relatively cold temperatures. The almost summer-like climate in September created the conditions for the creation of this cuvée, eliminating areas where certain pests were<br />present and maximising the ripening of the grapes. The harvest began on 11 September and continued for almost four weeks.<br /><br />NOSE<br />What immediately strikes you is the balanced impression of the bouquet, pure, airy and luminous. A floral and fruity tone develops, which is quickly enriched by candied<br />fruit, ripe hay and toasted notes, accompanied by hints of liquorice.<br /><br />THE PALATE<br />'It is on the palate that this wine reveals its opulence, measured yet delicious and enveloping. Gradually the aromas evolve and expand, becoming more complex and<br />intriguing, and the creaminess gives way to a silkier texture. All of this is finally resolved in an exquisite bitter note, enhanced by a touch of iodine.<br /><br />CULINARY PAIRINGS<br />Sicilian olive oil envelops the unparalleled sensual notes of Dom Pérignon. When the wine marries the low acidity and brilliance of the oily substance, it reveals the velvety<br />curves, impeccable voluptuousness and smoothness of Dom Pérignon Vintage 2006, enlivened by vegetal notes.<br />
