Description
What kind of wine it is
Joseph Gewürztraminer by J. Hofstätter is an aromatic white wine with controlled designation of origin from Alto Adige, which fully expresses the varietal character of Gewürztraminer, also known as Traminer Aromatico. Vinified and matured in steel, it appears an intense, bright and concentrated straw yellow in the glass, while the bouquet reveals a clear structure, with notes of rose petals, dried flowers, yellow fruit and oriental spices, complemented by delicate smoky nuances. On the palate it is dense and rich, supported by a lively freshness that balances its body. The sip stands out for its balance and persistence, offering a harmonious tasting experience, ideal as an aperitif or paired with shellfish and blue cheeses.
Where it comes from
This white wine originates from the Alto Adige denomination, specifically on the selected slopes of Termeno on the Wine Road. The vineyards benefit from an alpine climate that enhances the aromatic precision and vibrancy typical of the region. The vines sink their roots into marly and light soils, well-ventilated and quick to warm up: optimal agronomic conditions for the regular ripening of the grapes. This environmental combination enhances the intensity of the aromas, defining a marked territorial identity that translates into a broad and easily recognisable sensory profile.
How it is produced
The production process begins with gentle crushing, followed by a short maceration on the skins for a few hours, essential for extracting the primary aromatic components. After gentle pressing and natural settling of the must, vinification continues with temperature-controlled fermentation in steel tanks. To preserve the freshness of the fruit and ensure a rigorous expressive clarity, maturation in steel lasts for several months, with no use of wood. The result is a wine of impeccable balance, capable of further evolving and enriching its bouquet over time.
History and Curiosities
Originating from Termeno, this Gewürztraminer reflects the dedication of the J. Hofstätter family, who have been producing outstanding wines in the Alto Adige DOC region for five generations. Under the guidance of Martin Foradori Hofstätter, the historic estate is constantly evolving, striving for uncompromising quality. This deep connection to its roots is embodied in a wine with a pronounced territorial identity, capable of developing and enriching itself thanks to bottle ageing of at least one year, ideal for fully enhancing its elegant and complex aromatic bouquet.
