The vineyards stretch across a \u003cstrong\u003esunny mountain slope\u003c\/strong\u003e at an altitude between 450 and 550 metres above sea level. The area is characterised by a dry climate and a complex geological structure, where sandy and gravelly soils of morainic origin blend with \u003cstrong\u003ecalcareous soils enriched by fluvial clay deposits\u003c\/strong\u003e. This specific soil composition and optimal exposure encourage the development of a clear aromatic profile, ensuring the wine has a \u003cstrong\u003ehigh ageing potential\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe process begins with a \u003cstrong\u003ebrief cold maceration\u003c\/strong\u003e of the destemmed grapes, followed by gentle pressing. The must is fermented at a controlled temperature and follows two paths: part of the liquid rests in stainless steel, while the remainder ferments in small barrels, where it also undergoes malolactic fermentation. After eight months of separate maturation, the two components are \u003cstrong\u003ecarefully blended\u003c\/strong\u003e and continue their journey with extended ageing on the lees. A further period of \u003cstrong\u003ebottle maturation\u003c\/strong\u003e completes the process, giving the wine its enveloping structure and elegant complexity on the palate.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded in 1960, the Colterenzio winery celebrates the Alto Adige DOC region with the \u003cstrong\u003eGewürztraminer Lafóa 2023\u003c\/strong\u003e, born on sunny slopes between 450 and 550 metres above sea level.
