Kellerei Terlan Alto Adige Pinot Bianco Vorberg Riserva 2023 1.5L

The south-facing slopes of Monzoccolo in the Terlano DOC area are the location of steep and sunny vineyards at altitudes between 450 and 650 meters above sea-level where this exciting Pinot Bianco flourishes. Vineyard Slope: 5 - 75% Vinification: Manual harvest and selection of the grapes; gentle whole cluster pressing and clarification of the must by natural sedimentation; slow fermentation at a controlled temperature in big oak barrels (70 + 30 hl); malolactic fermentation and aging on the lees in traditional wooden barrels for 12 months. Grape varieties: Pinot Bianco Altitude: 450 - 650m ASL Exposure: South/Southwest Soil: Quartz porphyry bedrock of volcanic origin. Light, sandy-loamy soils. Alcohol: 14% Residual Sugar: 6 g/l Tasting notes: The multifaceted aroma of this wine derives from a combination of ripe fruit, including honeydew melon, white peach, pear and Golden Delicious apple, together with the aromas of quince jelly, chamomile and pineapple, on the one hand, and mineral notes of flint on the other. The interplay of fruity aromatic and salty components is repeated on the palate. The compact structure and elegant creamy elements create a lingering, firmly minerally and spicy character on the aftertaste.
