In the glass, it displays a bright straw yellow colour with greenish highlights. The bouquet is intense and pleasantly spicy, characterised by clear \u003cstrong\u003enotes of peach and apricot\u003c\/strong\u003e enriched by light muscat hints. On the palate, it is precise and elegant, driven by a \u003cstrong\u003ebalanced acidity\u003c\/strong\u003e that lends vibrancy to the sip. A versatile white, ideal for accompanying aperitifs, cured meats, egg or mushroom-based dishes, cheeses, shellfish and freshwater fish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis white originates in the heart of Alto Adige, from vineyards situated between 650 and 970 metres above sea level. The vines, trained using the Guyot system, grow on \u003cstrong\u003estony alluvial soils\u003c\/strong\u003e, very poor and rich in skeleton, characterised by the presence of diorite and quartz phyllite. The alpine climate and the strong temperature variations typical of the altitude favour the development of a \u003cstrong\u003eclear and complex aromatic expression\u003c\/strong\u003e. Harvesting takes place at the beginning of October, the optimal period to preserve the natural fragrance of the grapes and ensure a defined \u003cstrong\u003egustatory tension\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the winery, production involves extremely gentle handling and pressing. This is followed by \u003cstrong\u003etemperature-controlled fermentation\u003c\/strong\u003e in steel tanks, essential for maintaining the purity of the fruit. The wine then matures on the \u003cstrong\u003enoble lees in steel\u003c\/strong\u003e, acquiring structure and stability without compromising its drinkability. To preserve its \u003cstrong\u003elively freshness\u003c\/strong\u003e and precise acidity, malolactic fermentation is not carried out, thus ensuring a final sip consistent with the rigorous mountain profile of Alto Adige.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Alto Adige Kerner Vigne 2024 is a \u003cstrong\u003estill white wine\u003c\/strong\u003e produced among the peaks and clear skies of the Alto Adige DOC, at an altitude between 650 and 970 metres.
