Description
Still white Riserva from Trentino Alto Adige, 14% ABV, produced by Colterenzio. 100% Pinot Bianco, 2022 vintage. A wine born from the passion of 26 winemakers who founded the cooperative in 1960, gaining independence from wine merchants. The vineyards are concentrated in the Eppan Berg area, one of the historically renowned places for Pinot Bianco. Hints of fragrant apple and pear, and an elegant and complex bouquet. Bright straw yellow with greenish highlights. On the palate, it perfectly expresses its pronounced acidity and has a lovely savory and mineral finish.

It was in the 1980s, South Tyrol was primarily a red-wine region, and the quality was run-of-the-mill. Raifer, a winegrower himself, recognised the potential of South Tyrol as an outstanding winegrowing region: The terroir was cheap, sufficient vineyard area was available and the winegrowers were hard-working and skilled. His first step in his vineyard, "Lafóa", a sunny mountain slope behind the Colterenzio cellar, was to replace the Vernatsch vines with Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, and, later, Sauvignon Blanc. He also brought in new quality standards: Lower yield for higher-quality grapes and higher-quality wines. It was on this pilot vineyard slope that, with both Cabernet Sauvignon and Sauvignon, the new quality standard measures were introduced.
This quality philosophy extended its reach to all members of the cooperative: new grape varietals were experimented with, and quality groups created. Today, the members and workers at the cellar are committed to working in line with this model throughout the entire winegrowing area, the cellars and for all wines.
The 300 partner winegrowers of the Colterenzio winery are the backbone of the company. They work year-round on their wine hills with their families in order to supply us with top-quality wine grapes in autumn. Read more
