| Annata | 2017 |
| Denominazione | DOC Alto Adige Traminer Aromatico |
| Nome del Prodotto | Epokale Gewurztraminer 2017 |
| Colore | Gleaming, intense golden yellow. |
| Profumo | Intensive and impressive; rose petals, lavender, ripe exotic yellow fruits, honeydew, mango, passion fruit, peach, lychee; spicy notes of dried herbs: cloves, sage, ginger, saffron, cinnamon and nutmeg. |
| Gusto | Strong showing, very elegant and graceful, enormous depth, deeply aromatic, rich in content and essence, but with delicately flavored succulence and salty minerality. Highly refined residual sweetness in harmony with mild acidity, a nearly endless finish. |
| Storia | Epokale is inspired by an old tradition. A wine with a sugar residual that can be well perceived, which used to give strength to the body and the soul. We have selected two of our oldest Gewürztraminer vineyards to produce it, near maso Nussbaumer. Here, four kilometers aways from the opening of the gallery, it preserves its freshness and it gains elegance thanks to an environment that maintains constant humidity and temperature at 52 °F. In order to develop its maximum expression, Epokale ages then in the dark for seven years in the Ridanna Monteneve mine, at over 6,500 feet of altitude. |

Description
The first Italian white wine to be awarded 100 points by Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate. Epokale sets itself apart from classic Alto Adige Gewürztraminers, redefines boundaries and is a perfect example of the capabilities of this grape. "This is the finest expression of late-harvest Gewürztraminer I have tasted from Italy – The 2009 Alto Adige Gewürztraminer Epokale is a wine of genius and inspiration. It represents the first 100-point Robert Parker Wine Advocate score awarded to an Italian wine outside of Tuscany and Piedmont." (Monica Larner, Agosto 2018)

| Climate | Extreme interplay between sunny days, influenced by the Mediterranean climate, and the cool nights, marked by the cold downslope winds from the surrounding mountains. Altitude: 420 – 440 m. a.s.l. Aspect: south-east. |
| Soil composition | Calciferous gravel with loam on porphyry bedrock. |
| Yield per hectare | 28 hl |
| Harvest | End of October. The grapes are harvested by hand into small bins, with careful attention to every berry, and gently pressed after a short period of maceration. |
| Wine making | After destemming and compaction, a short period of maceration at low temperature follows, then gentle pressing. Fermentation takes place slowly, for more than 4 weeks at a controlled temperature of 18°C, before it is stopped by cooling to 5°C for 10 days. The wine is then transferred into small stainless-steel tanks. |
| Aging | Maturation takes place in small steel tanks with constant contact with the lees for 8 months, whereas must is clarified through natural sedimentation of the particles.
