Description
What kind of wine it is
Tiefenbrunner Merus Müller Thurgau is a still semi-aromatic white wine from Alto Adige, capable of precisely expressing the nuances of the Müller Thurgau grape variety. In the glass, it displays a hue ranging from pale greenish to light yellow. On the nose, it offers inviting scents of wild herbs, fresh grass and a hint of nutmeg. On the palate, a well-balanced acidity emerges, lending vibrancy to the sip and leading the tasting towards an elegant and enveloping finish.
Where it comes from
The grapes are grown in the picturesque hillside vineyards of Alto Adige, located in the renowned areas of Penone, Corona and Aica di Sotto. Altitudes between 550 and 900 metres ensure an ideal climate for the development of the aromatic profile. The vines sink their roots into a unique geological mosaic, characterised by sandy schist soils, calcareous gravel and clay sediments. The plants are cultivated using pergola and espalier training systems, maximising the identity of each individual plot.
How it is produced
The processing of Müller Thurgau grapes begins with fermentation in stainless steel at a controlled temperature, essential for preserving the delicate varietal aromas. This is followed by ageing on fine lees for four months, carried out in steel containers and cement tanks. This meticulous production process enriches the wine's texture, giving it greater depth and a solid structural balance, enhancing the natural and vibrant expression of the terroir.
