Description
What kind of wine it is
Vigne Alto Adige Kerner is a still white wine that represents the authentic expression of the Kerner grape variety. In the glass, it displays a bright straw yellow colour with greenish highlights. The bouquet is intense and pleasantly spicy, characterised by clear notes of peach and apricot enriched by light muscat hints. On the palate, it is precise and elegant, driven by a balanced acidity 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.
Where it comes from
This 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 stony alluvial soils, 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 clear and complex aromatic expression. Harvesting takes place at the beginning of October, the optimal period to preserve the natural fragrance of the grapes and ensure a defined gustatory tension.
How it is produced
In the winery, production involves extremely gentle handling and pressing. This is followed by temperature-controlled fermentation in steel tanks, essential for maintaining the purity of the fruit. The wine then matures on the noble lees in steel, acquiring structure and stability without compromising its drinkability. To preserve its lively freshness and precise acidity, malolactic fermentation is not carried out, thus ensuring a final sip consistent with the rigorous mountain profile of Alto Adige.
History and Curiosities
The Alto Adige Kerner Vigne 2024 is a still white wine produced among the peaks and clear skies of the Alto Adige DOC, at an altitude between 650 and 970 metres. Rooted in stony alluvial soils that are poor yet rich in quartz phyllite and diorite, the vines trained using the Guyot system yield bunches harvested at the beginning of October. The winery enhances its aromatic profile through gentle pressing and maturation on fine lees in stainless steel, excluding malolactic fermentation to preserve the intense freshness and clear notes of peach, apricot and spices.
