This grape variety most likely originates from Germany and was introduced to South Tyrol around 1900; today it is mainly cultivated in the Eisack Valley. The Sylvaner<br />grape feels particularly at home in the not too high, airy and warm slopes of the central Valle Isarco. The shallow, gravelly, weathered soils give the wine its incomparable<br />delicacy and elegance, which, although reminiscent of the wines of the same name on the other side of the Alps, unmistakably reflects the peculiarity of the Valle Isarco.<br /><br /><br />Grape variety: Sylvaner<br />Growing altitude: 520 - 850 m<br />Soil: mineral-rich, gravelly diorite and quartz phyllite weathered soils<br />Vinification: gentle processing and pressing, temperature-controlled fermentation and ageing on fine yeast in stainless steel tanks, no malolactic fermentation<br /><br /><br />Colour: light lemon yellow<br />Taste: dry, aromatic, pleasantly fresh with a balanced body<br />Aroma: delicate, typical of the variety, fruity, of peach, apple, apricot<br />

Description follows

<br /><br />The AMOS cuvée shows the terroir potential of the high Kurtatsch sites. AMOS is composed of the best hand-picked white grapes from the coolest vineyards between 600<br />and 900 metres above sea level.<br /><br />It is precisely this interplay of varieties and sites that makes AMOS so unique in character and style. In order to preserve the mountain freshness, barriques were not used.<br />The long fine yeast storage in large wood provides additional complexity. The neutral Burgundy varieties form the compact foundation (70%) Kerner and Sauvignon give the<br />wine its seductive bouquet of white peach, apricot, blossom and citrus fruit. The result is a very complex, incomparable cuvée.<br />AMOS: the mountain wine.<br /><br />Grape variety: Pinot Blanc - Chardonnay - Pinot Grigio - Kerner - Sauvignon.<br />Vinification: Separate harvest and fermentation at controlled temperature in stainless steel tanks, followed by blending and fine yeast ageing for 15 months in large oak<br />barrels.<br />Alcohol: 14.0 % vol.<br />Total acidity: 6.3 g/l<br />Residual sugar: 2,0 g/l<br />Yield per hectare: 40 hl<br />Optimal drinking maturity: 2-8 years<br />Method of cultivation: sustainable<br />Bottle size: 0,75 l<br />

Different from all that is known: wild and earthy, this single-varietal Sauvignon Blanc presents itself. A special experience for wine freaks.<br /><br />Grape variety:<br />Sauvignon Blanc<br />Site and soil: Lieben Aich in Terlan, a south-western slope at 300 m above sea level with a mild, breezy microclimate and water-permeable, sandy loam on porphyry<br />weathered rock, our soil with the greatest mineral structure.<br /><br />Data:<br />Residual sugar: 0.4 g/l<br />Alcohol: 13,5 % Vol.<br />Acidity: biological acid reduction 6,5 g/l<br />

Réserve della Contessa - the feminine wine.<br /><br />Its secret is fineness and elegance, one almost wants to say noblesse. A white wine of delicate colour and delicate aromas, as if made to accompany festive hours.<br /><br />Grape varieties: Pinot Blanc 60 %, Chardonnay 30 %, Sauvignon Blanc 10 % (Terlaner).<br />Colour: strong yellow with greenish reflections.<br />Aroma and taste: fresh scent of apples, apricots and a hint of sage. Dense and elegant, with a lot of melting, long lasting.<br />Site and soil: Two thirds of the grapes come from Lieben Aich in Terlan and one third from Campan in Kaltern. In Terlan Lieben Aich we have a warm west-facing slope at<br />300 m above sea level, with water-permeable, sandy loam soil on porphyry weathered rock. Kaltern Campan is a cool, east-facing slope at 500 m above sea level. The soil<br />is a strong loamy limestone soil with rock deposits from ice-age glaciers.<br />Vinification: The destemmed grapes remained in the press for six hours for maceration to extract aroma and structure from the skins. Fermentation took place in wooden<br />barrels, partly spontaneously, with the grape's own yeasts. During the six months of ageing on the fine lees, the aroma and flavour were refined.<br />Serving temperature: 10 - 12 °C.<br />Goes well with: starters, fish and white meat.<br />
