Description
What kind of wine it is
J. Hofstätter Barthenau Vigna S. Michele Pinot Bianco is a still white wine that expresses the winemaking essence of Alto Adige. Made from Pinot Bianco grapes, it stands out for its complex and harmonious aromatic profile. On the palate, it reveals clear fruity notes and a finely balanced acidity that gives a pleasant freshness to each sip. Thanks to its well-defined structure, it pairs perfectly with cheese, poultry and shellfish-based dishes, enhancing delicate preparations without overpowering them.
Where it comes from
The grapes are grown in the Alto Adige area, cultivated in the renowned Vigna S. Michele vineyard. The Hofstätter winery introduced the single vineyard classification to the region, highlighting the identity of each specific plot. The rows are managed with gentle pruning and cover crops to strengthen the vines. This precision viticulture approach allows for an authentic and faithful expression of the mountainous landscape in the glass.
How it is produced
The process involves careful management of the Pinot Bianco from harvest, followed by vinification aimed at preserving the purity of the fruit. Maturation is divided between the use of cement vats and resting in wooden barrels. This technique gives the wine a solid structure while preserving its vital acidic drive. Ageing ensures an ideal taste balance and an estimated longevity of between five and ten years, guaranteeing a consistently clean and elegant sip.
