Passito Comtess<br />Sanct Valentin 2021<br />Passito is the Italian term for wines that are made from air- and sun-dried, almost rosined grapes. This usually takes place in our vineyard, i.e. the grapes remain on the vine<br />until the end of the year. The elegant Passito Comtess delights with intense fruit, a creamy-soft body, with a long finish and flatters the palate with racy-fresh acidity. The<br />youthful, fresh aromas become increasingly complex with proper bottle ageing and gradually fade into subtle honey notes.<br /><br />Grape variety: Gewürztraminer<br />Vine age: 20 years<br />Growing region:<br />Site: vineyard at the foot of Valentin Castle (600m) and in Pinzon/.<br />Montan (330m)<br />Exposure: Southeast / Southwest<br />Soils: Calcareous gravel soils<br />Method of cultivation: Guyot<br />Harvest: Mid-December; harvest and grape selection by hand.<br />Vinification: The dried grapes are pressed and fermented and matured partly in steel tanks and partly in small wood.<br />Yield: 20 hl/ha<br />Analytical data:<br />Alcohol content: 10%.<br />Residual sugar: 260 gr/lt<br />Acidity: 7,35 gr/lt<br />Drinking temperature: 8-10° C<br /><br />Recommended consumption:<br />This fruity dessert wine goes perfectly with blue cheese,<br />but also with fruity desserts like apple strudel, apple pie with vanilla<br />vanilla ice cream or 'Peach Melba'.<br />Cellaring/Potential:<br />10 years and more<br />

Description follows

Azienda Agricola Giovanni Poli The Nosiola grapes cultivated on the 'frate' surrounding the Valle dei Laghi, after prolonged drying on the typical 'arele' and constantly<br />caressed by the 'Ora' of Lake Garda until the Botrytis cinerea fester, are usually pressed during the Settimana Sata according to an ancient local custom.<br /><br />Three years of fermentation in steel, two years of refinement in barrels and one year in the bottle ennoble this wine.<br /><br />A pleasant sweet and fragrant wine. A dessert and meditation wine.<br />

Giacomo loved elastic ball, a Piedmontese game played in the Acquese hills, an area with a vocation for the production of Brachetto. So it was that Giacomo, like his father<br />before him, inherited the nickname of a fist-ball champion 'Braida', and in 1967 the family began producing Brachetto d'Acqui.<br /><br />Denomination<br />Brachetto d'Acqui DOCG.<br />Grapes and Vineyard: produced with grapes: Brachetto 100%.<br />Winery: steel tanks for fermentation and maceration of the skins at controlled temperature for 36-48 hours. Passage in autoclave for frothing. After stabilisation and<br />microfiltration, bottle ageing follows.<br />Tasting: light ruby red colour with purple reflections, lively foam and insistent perlage. Lush, fragrant and aromatic bouquet, with clear hints of ripe red fruit and dried roses.<br />Sweet, soft, delicate, sparkling, persuasive flavour with a long aromatic persistence. It goes well with strawberries and wild berries, as well as with nuts, hazelnuts, almonds,<br />pistachios and figs.<br />The most traditional pairing, with dessert at the end of the meal or mid-afternoon, is with dry pastries and baked goods, from Christmas panettone to tarts. Braida Brachetto<br />d'Acqui is perhaps the only wine in the world that, above all, goes well with chocolate.<br />Serving recommendations: Serve at 6-8°.<br />

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 /><br />Alcohol: 12.50 % vol.<br />Total acidity: 5.1 g/l<br />Residual sugar: 55 g/l<br />
