Alto Adige Pinot Grigio 2024

Description

Still white wine from Alto Adige, 14% ABV, produced by Kettmeir. 100% Pinot Grigio, 2024 vintage. A Pinot Grigio that expresses the freshness and minerality of the Alto Adige terroir, with an elegance that makes it perfect for any occasion. The grapes, hand-picked at full ripeness, are delicately processed with soft pressing to prevent the coppery pigments typical of the variety from migrating into the must. Fermentation is conducted at a controlled temperature of 17-18 degrees C. Intoxicating aromas of white-fleshed fruit, primarily pear and ripe apple, with floral and citrus nuances. Bright straw-yellow color. On the palate, it unfolds dynamic and energetic, with freshness dictating the pace and savory flavors supporting the aromatic symphony that finishes with tropical notes.

From this winery

• Start up year: 1919
• Oenologist: Josef Romen
• Bottles produced: 290.000
• Hectares: 55

A historic winery immersed in the vineyards of South Tyrol since 1919, a witness and messenger of the knowledge of time. An avant-garde winery in search of new scenarios to explore.

Tradition as a value to be handed down, and progress as a vision to be perpetuated. Innovators, but with the awareness that one must not abandon the heritage of tradition, preserved as a fundamental bond with the land and one's own history.

One example is the architecture of the Kettmeir winery, preserved intact since the Second World War as a precious testimony to its past. And it is in the historic wine cellar, where both the wines rest in barrels and the classic method sparkling wines on ancient pupitres, that part of Kettmeir's success is realised under the watchful eye of oenologist Josef Romen.

The other place is the vineyards, stretching from Kaltern to the Ebnicherhof to Salurn, where Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Sauvignon, Moscato rosa and many other grape varieties grow, cultivated with absolute care, respecting all their varietal peculiarities. In every grape, the history of this land. In every drop, the know-how of its people. In every bubble, a way of being. Read more
