Exilissi SELL Spätl....

Exilissi Sell 2007<br /><br />Vintage: After an exceptionally mild winter, the vines sprouted earlier than ever before. April and May were also warmer than average, so that by mid-May the flowering was<br />already over in all locations. This 3-week advance in vegetation lasted until harvest. The cool August and a golden September proved it once again: The last weeks before<br />the harvest are decisive for the quality.<br />Whites and reds were able to ripen perfectly and were harvested at the optimal time. That is why the harvest took longer than ever before. The first grapes entered the<br />cellar on 21 August, the last on 24 October. All in all, it should be a very good vintage. The red wines promise to be the best of the last ten years.<br /><br />Vinification: gentle pressing of the delicate grapes. Fermentation of the unclarified must in 500 l tonnequx, further 15 months of maturation in the same barrel. Bottled in<br />March 2009<br /><br />Harvest conditions: a sunny and warm late autumn allowed the grapes to hang until mid-November, thus enabling the harvest of a very ripe grape.<br /><br />Site/soil: Höfl unterm Stein in Söll near Tramin, situated on a south-eastern slope at 480 to 550 metres above sea level. On gravelly, loamy calcareous gravel soil, there are<br />both 30-year-old pergola plants and wire frames that are over 10 years old, which produce something unique with an extremely low yield of 25hl/ha.<br /><br />Oenologist's notes: an enormously concentrated late harvest with intense aromas of sultanas, apricots and spices. Very smooth and long on the palate. Mineral components<br />can be found in the finish.<br /><br />Variety list: 100% Gewürztraminer<br />Alcohol: 13.5% vol.<br />Acidity: 6.8g/l<br />Residual sugar: 140g/l<br />

<br />South Tyrol DOC<br />Pinot Noir Riserva<br />Sanct Valentin<br /><br />Pinot Noir has been cultivated in South Tyrol since 1850 and is also known in many places as Pinot Noir. It is the winery's most important red wine. This grape variety is a<br />very special challenge for the winemaker, as it is very demanding in terms of soil and climate, and must also be processed with special care in the cellar. For the Pinot Noir<br />Sanct Valentin, which has been part of the prestige line since 1995, only grapes from the best vineyards and oldest vines are used. Extremely low yields and the greatest<br />care produce an elegant and highly sensual wine, characterised by structure, balance and fine tannins.<br /><br />Eye: ruby red<br />Nose: small red berries, strawberry, violet, smoky notes, cinnamon.<br />Taste: spicy, smooth, elegant and seductive<br />Variety description: Pinot noir<br />Growing site: older vineyards in St. Michael-Eppan and surroundings (400-550 m)<br />Exposure: south-southeast to south-southwest<br />Soils: moraine rubble and limestone gravel soils<br />Method of cultivation: Guyot <br />Vine age: 8 to 26 years<br />Harvest: mid-September; harvest and grape selection by hand.<br />Vinification: Cold maceration (three days) followed by fermentation and soft pressing.

Chinato PIO CESARE 750ml

Chinato PIO CESARE 750ml

Barolo Chinato<br />For about 21 days, small pieces of China Calissaia and China Succirubra bark are steeped in an infusion of alcohol and a very small amount of our classic Barolo. We<br />then add a mixture of aromatic spices including gentian root, rhubarb, cardamom seeds, sweet and bitter orange, cinnamon and others, which make up our historic<br />Family Recipe. To the aromatic extract thus obtained we finally add the right amount of our classic Barolo, a little sugar and alcohol and leave it to refine for at least 4<br />months in small stainless steel containers. After resting in the bottle for at least 2 months, our Barolo Chinato is ready to be enjoyed in the Piedmontese way, i.e. after<br />meals as a digestif.<br />

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 />
