This wine, with Controlled Designation of Origin from Alto Adige, made from Chardonnay grapes vinified in steel, reveals a bright straw yellow colour enriched with subtle greenish highlights. The aromatic profile is clear, characterised by distinct \u003cstrong\u003enotes of Golden Delicious apple\u003c\/strong\u003e intertwined with delicate floral nuances. On the palate, it stands out for its medium body and \u003cstrong\u003esolid structure\u003c\/strong\u003e, supported by a crisp acidity that provides balance and ensures a pleasantly persistent finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wine originates in Alto Adige, from \u003cstrong\u003ehillside vineyards\u003c\/strong\u003e located between Termeno and Cortaccia. The west-to-east orientation of the rows ensures optimal vegetative development of the vines. The roots delve into a \u003cstrong\u003emarly subsoil\u003c\/strong\u003e capable of warming up quickly, a fundamental condition to guarantee regular ripening and define the fruit's identity. In this specific territorial context, J. Hofstätter manages to enhance the \u003cstrong\u003earomatic fragrance\u003c\/strong\u003e of the Chardonnay, preserving a profile of profound freshness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe production process begins with a \u003cstrong\u003egentle pressing\u003c\/strong\u003e of the grapes, followed by clarification of the must through natural decantation. This procedure ensures a clear base for the subsequent \u003cstrong\u003etemperature-controlled fermentation\u003c\/strong\u003e, a technical step essential to preserve the integrity of the aromas. Vinification takes place entirely in steel tanks, where the wine matures in contact with the \u003cstrong\u003efine lees\u003c\/strong\u003e. The complete absence of maturation in wooden barrels results in a clear and vibrant sip.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLocated in \u003cstrong\u003eTermeno on the Wine Road\u003c\/strong\u003e and led by oenologist Martin Foradori Hofstätter, this family-run winery masterfully blends tradition and technological innovation.
