Wines of Trentino-Alto Adige

This rosé wine, produced from the Lagrein grape, is typically South Tyrolean, has a rosé color and a pleasantly fruity note that is gaining more and more interest.

This variety has been cultivated in South Tyrol for a century and has established itself as a reference point for our production. It owes its aromatic complexity to the strong temperature variations between day and night and to the composition of the soil. It is distinguished by its hints of apple, peach, apricot and pear. Very convincing in the mouth with its acidity and minerality, it ranks among the most popular wines of South Tyrol.

Pinot Grigio, known in Alto Adige as Ruländer, is distinguished by its floral aromas and is characterized by a balanced acidity and a fresh and velvety palate.

Pinot Noir from the Himmerleich winery is an excellent red wine from Val Venosta produced with grapes from the homonymous vine. The vines are cultivated in an environmental condition that is particularly congenial to them, on the land of Monte Sole at an altitude of about 650 m slm Here the sun makes its presence for 250 days a year, and counterbalances the temperature range of the relatively high position . This perfect temperature play between day and night gives the grapes an unmistakable character. The very elegant and caressing Pinot Noir is the only one that acquires the noble title, in the assortment of red wines from the Himmelreich cellar. In the glass it enchants with its intense iridescent ruby red colour. The nose seduces with its delicious scented bouquet of red berried fruits such as berries and wild strawberries, as well as a delicate but unmistakable aroma of Madagascar vanilla. On the palate it is rich and balanced, with a perfect and pleasant structure. A great classic red wine that goes perfectly with feathered and furred game, with steaks and braised meats cooked to perfection.

The classy version of the now timeless Riesling: with the "Geieregg" the Himmelreich estate presents the luxury version of its classic white wine. Once poured into the glass, a bright yellow color can be seen adorned with greenish reflections. The nose is captivated by a mature and complex bouquet, consisting of fresh pineapple, sweet peach and grapefruit. "Geieregg" reveals a decidedly full-bodied and juicy mineral taste, supported by deep persistent mineral notes on the palate. It is not only an excellent accompaniment for light appetizers, but also for fish and seafood dishes. By virtue of the particularly refined taste, given by its accentuated minerality and its bouquet, it is in excellent harmony with Asian cuisine.

This Riesling is an excellent white wine produced with grapes from the homonymous vine that grows in Val Venosta. The vines are grown on Monte Sole, where there is less rainfall than the entire western area of Alto-Adige. These particular climatic conditions, and the composition of the morainic soils, give the wines of the Himmelreich cellar their unique and unmistakable character. Its robe is of a bright yellow colour, with intervals of greenish reflections. As it enters the glass, Riesling releases a multifaceted bouquet, the first scent that is perceived is sweet and ripe yellow peach. Notes of pineapple with the right point of ripeness, prickly pears and fresh grapefruit follow immediately afterwards. As it passes, the palate is filled with minerality, its juicy and exotic taste is incomparably mineral and refreshing. This fresh white wine with a delicious taste goes perfectly with light appetizers, fish in general and seafood, but is also perfect with Asian dishes.

On behalf of the Himmelreich winery, Markus Fliri presents a Pinot Blanc with a strong character and natural charm. The bright yellowish-greenish color hides a characteristic fruity aroma of pear, apple and delicate citrus notes. Compact, fresh and crunchy: this is how the taste profile of Pinot Blanc presents itself, which is, at the same time, enriched by fine mineral notes. This wine is excellent when combined with light appetizers, lightly fried fish and spicy poultry.

Genuin is a genuine and authentic albeit atypical red wine. Its essence has a thousand facets, and can be savored intensely, revealing its liveliness. These stupendous qualities are due to the excellent components of the terroir of morainic origin, and to the special temperature range deriving from the presence of Monte Sole. In the glass its color has a splendid bright red robe. The aromas of raspberries and red cherry arrive intoxicating to the nose, with faint notes of almond, and hints of wild flowers. A sip capable of conquering and satisfying the palate. Excellent glass to serve in combination with roasts, red meats and medium-aged cheeses.

Perhaps the most important native vine of Alto Adige, lagrein leads to elegant and relaxed wines of great pleasure.

The result of a merger, which took place in 2001, between the Cantina Produttori Santa Maddalena and the Cantina Produttori Gries, this kaleidoscopic winery offers an incredible range, complete in the multiplicity of products and refined in the interpretation of the territory. The quality standard is truly impressive and does not fail to satisfy any palate, even the most demanding one, with the right attention to both native and international vines. A splendid example of quality is this Sauvignon, a semi-aromatic vine, characterized by a great variety of aromas, here incredibly enhanced by the warm, sandy soils and the breezy climate, which constitute the ideal terroir for a great wine.

With a rich range of labels with attention to the smallest details, the J.Hütte winery, in the province of Bolzano, has managed in a short time to reach a substantial production volume of out of the ordinary quality, which sees the coexistence of native grapes of the area, such as Moscato Giallo , Lagrein and Gewürztraminer with the international Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Sauvignon. A mix of sandy and morainic soils, accentuated temperature variations and the support of the Bolzano winery combine to create measured and incisive wines, elegant and refined as only South Tyroleans can be.

Rich in sodium, albite is a typical mineral of the Alps, in particular of Valle d'Aosta, Piedmont and Alto Adige, where it finds the ideal subsoil for its development, proving to be a faithful ally for the vine. This Sauvignon is proof of this, presenting itself as the perfect synthesis between territory, climate and grape variety, thanks to its typicality which, in combination with albite, gives life to an authentic, complex and characterful label, capable of perfectly combining, to the gentleness of citrus and floral tones, an important structure and a strong minerality.

Pinot Noir is a vine that represents a challenge for agronomists and oenologists due to its delicacy, its need for a suitable microclimate and the difficulty of having a constant production. However, when its needs are satisfied, excellent wines are obtained which are very pleasant to drink. Like Boem's Pinot Noir. Its grapes are harvested by hand in the last week of September and vinified in steel tanks at a controlled temperature. The wine thus obtained is aged in French oak barriques for six months before being bottled. Wine of great elegance, full-bodied and expressive.

Merlot is one of the best known and most appreciated vines in the world. From its grapes are produced wines with a soft and velvety organoleptic profile that meets the favors of a worldwide audience since it is cultivated in all five continents. Merlot grapes give their contribution in the blends by bringing roundness and drinkability to wines that are too angular but they can also be vinified alone like this beautiful example of Boem, obtained from hilly vineyards rich in alluvial debris. Their grapes are harvested by hand in the first week of October and vinified in vitrified cement tanks, where they remain on their lees for six months. Color of a beautiful ruby red. The nose shows hints of cherry and raspberry, rose petals and a slight sweet spice. On the palate it is soft and warm, with light tannins that close the circle of balance. Adequate finish with notes of pink pepper. Ideal on chicken with peppers but also with pork ribs in barbecue sauce.

In the southernmost part of the Trentino Adige valley, where the Little Dolomites and the Baldo chain accompany Lake Garda in its expansion towards the Venetian plain, the vineyards of the Ala cellar are located; a land rich in memories, which was the scene of disputes between the Austrian empire and the most serene republic of Venice. It was thanks to these relationships and the consequent commercial exchanges of the people who populated it that Marzemino arrived in this land from the distant and suggestive Asia Minor.

Teroldego is a vine with a fascinating history that has its cradle in the Trentino region and in particular in the Piana Rotaliana. Here, in fact, in the heart of the Adige Valley, north of the city of Trento, is "the most beautiful vineyard garden in Europe" as defined by Goethe and Cesare Battisti.

REBO RED WINE FROM TRENTINO DORIGATI WINERY Rebo is a vine grown in the foothills of Mezzocorona with which Cantina Dorigati produces a red wine with a deep ruby red color, with an intense, pleasant aroma of red berried fruit and spicy notes. The flavor of this wine is very harmonious and round, despite the presence of a certain tannin content and structure which make it a nice full-bodied wine.

"Om De Fer" Brut Blanc de Blancs è un grande metodo classico prodotto dalla famiglia Dorigati col desiderio di creare uno spumante di alta qualità partendo dalla cuvèe di tiraggio, con l’intento di abbinare all’evoluzione e alla complessità tipiche del metodo classico, la grande freschezza delle bollicine trentine. Per questo il 30% delle uve vengono vendemmiate quando hanno raggiunto una maggiore maturazione in confronto a quelle raccolte per produrre la classica base spumante, questo apporta volume e complessità. Vengono poi utilizzate botti vecchie, ciò aiuta lo Chardonnay ad avere la fase ossidativa prima della presa di spuma, mentre per aumentare la complessità olfattiva vengono mischiate con piccole partite di Chardonnay di precedenti raccolte. I vigneti sono coltivati sulle colline pedemontane ghiaiose calcaree di Mezzocorona, colline Avisiane Trentino Alto Adige, ad una altitudine di 200-500 m s.l.m. I vitigni sono allevati a pergola trentina semplice e la vendemmia viene effettuata manualmente nella prima decade di Settembre. La vinificazione prevede una pressatura soffice con frazionamento dei mosti, fermentazione in barrique per un quarto della massa, con affinamento in acciaio inox e barrique vecchie prima del tiraggio; infine avviene un periodo di circa 24 mesi di affinamento sui lieviti. Nel calice sfoggia una bellissima veste di colore giallo paglierino, con perlage fine e persistente. Il profumo si rivela particolarmente intenso e complesso, lievemente agrumato, con sentori di mela cotta e dolci di pasticceria. La spuma è molto avvolgente e fine. In bocca risulta estremamente morbido, merito di una buona struttura ed equilibrio acidico. Estremamente fresco nella beva. Questo è l’OM DE FER: un metodo classico nato per dare gioia e piacere! Un calice estremamente versatile, perfetto come aperitivo e per brindare in ogni occasione, che si abbina perfettamente a qualsiasi piatto marinaro.

Deep ruby red color with violet reflections. Perfume hints of ripe fruit, cherry and blackcurrant; slightly vanilla note. In the mouth, its main characteristic is consistency, with an important volume, clear perception of the tannic concentration, but with a velvety touch on the palate that leaves a remarkable persistence in the aftertaste. PAIRING: to be preferred in combination with red meats, also ideal with aged cheeses.

It is distinguished by a floral scent of violet, with hints of ripe fruit, blackberry, raspberry and blueberry with spicy notes of mint. The decisive and full flavor and a certain tannin give importance and depth to this wine of sure substance.

Characterized by aromas of varietal fruit aromas that combine well with the vanilla aroma given by the aging in wood. Creamy and full flavor, but at the same time fresh and pleasant. After the pressing and clarification of the must, the alcoholic fermentation takes place, half carried out in steel and half in wood.

Il Trentino è una terra indubbiamente vocata alla produzione di basi spumanti. Se si aggiunge una produzione artigianale e rispettosa delle tradizioni ecco che si ottiene TRENTODOC, ovvero il metodo classico trentino.è da questi presupposti che nel 1986 nasce METHIUS TRENTO DOC grazie all’amicizia tra due amici enologi: Carlo Dorigati ed Enrico Paternoster. Il Trento Doc Methius è prodotto solo nella tipologia riserva, a sottolineare la qualità eccelsa di questo prodotto e la sua unicità. La cantina d’invecchiamento, ubicata a Mezzocorona (Trentino), risale ai primi del 1900, è completamente interrata e costruita con i “volti a botte” quasi tutti in pietra squadrata. Qui le bottiglie di Methius sostano per 60 mesi, a temperatura e umidità pressoché costanti tutto l’anno. Il nome “Methius” deriva dalla ricerca di un toponimo locale che accomuna l’origine del prodotto aziendale al territorio di nascita. L’etimo del nome scelto si perde nella storia. Si sa che già nel 1150 (Principe Vescovo e Mainardo II conte di Tirolo) il nome delle due borgate site nella “Piana Rotaliana” erano: Methius Coronae (oggi Mezzocorona) e Methius Sancti Petri (oggi Mezzolombardo) ove il radicale comune “Methius” deriva dal celtico e latino volgare.

Planus è la loro interpretazione enoica della Piana Rotaliana, attraverso l’assemblaggio di tre varietà storicamente coltivate dalla famiglia : 40% Rebo, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon e 20% Teroldego. Rebo e Cabernet Sauvignon vengono coltivati sulle colline pedemontane del Monte di Mezzocorona, su terreni ghiaioso-calcarei. Il Teroldego, invece, viene coltivato sui terreni alluvionali ben drenanti tipici della Piana Rotaliana. La vinificazione in rosso con lunga permanenza sulle vinacce, la maturazione 12 mesi in piccole botti di rovere e in grandi fusti di rovere con successivo passaggio in acciaio. Di colore rosso rubino carico con riflessi violacei. Il profumo: esplodono inizialmente sentori speziati riconducibili al pepe ed a spezie orientali, provenienti da Cabernet Sauvignon e Rebo, lasciando poi il posto alla frutta rossa, in primis ribes nero, merito del Teroldego. Il Sapore: grazie alla presenza del Rebo l’entrata in bocca è molto gentile, nella parte centrale del palato denota grande pienezza e struttura, proveniente dal tannino del Cabernet Sauvignon; infine chiude con grande freschezza e succosità, data dalla percentuale del più fresco Teroldego.

Lagrein Rosato Kretzer Dorigati (term KRETZER, synonymous with rosé), is a wine from Trentino and its name derives from "KRETZE", a large wicker basket with which the farmers drained the pressed grapes to obtain a rosé product.

It is produced with 100% Chardonnay grapes, rigorously harvested and selected by hand. The first fermentation, which takes place partly in steel and partly in barrique, is followed by 5 months refinement in the same containers and second fermentation, by refermentation in the bottle, with a full 5 years refinement on its own yeasts.

Produced only with grapes from its own vineyards in the medium-high hills of the Cembra Valley. It comes from the vine of the same name obtained in 1882 by the researcher Hermann Müller in the Swiss town of Thurgau from the cross between the Rhine Riesling and Chasselas varieties. The vinification is traditional with brief contact on the skins to ensure maximum conservation and the transmission to the wine of the varietal aromas characteristic of the grape. Subsequent fermentation at controlled temperature (18-20°C).

The Chardonnay Riserva comes from a selection of the best vineyards grown on the slopes of the Trentino mountains between 250 and 500 m above sea level. The preferred soils are of alluvial and draining origin. The grapes are harvested well ripe and characterized by a golden yellow colour, an indication of high aromatic richness. The skilful blending of wines obtained from vineyards located at various altitudes and with different exposures results in a wine that is ripe and rich but also fresh and fragrant. The grapes are harvested in September, partly subjected to cold maceration to increase the extraction of aromas and subsequently subjected to soft pressing. The must is fermented with the addition of selected yeasts, half in steel and half in lightly toasted French oak. The wines mature for 8 months in wood and 4 months in steel. The part that ages in barrique also carries out the malolactic fermentation and repeated batonage (resuspension of the fermentation yeasts) is carried out. Finally, 3-4 months of aging in the bottle follow.

For more than a century this vine, originally from France and precisely from the Loire Valley area, has been grown on the hills of Alto Adige. The grape harvest takes place by hand, as in the past, starting from the beginning of September. After a gentle destemming, the grapes undergo a short cold maceration in a stainless steel press. The alcoholic fermentation takes place in steel tanks at a controlled temperature. At the end of alcoholic fermentation, the wine is kept in contact with the lees, in stainless steel containers for about 6 months. The Sauvignon has a yellow color with light green reflections. On the nose the scent is fresh, with extravagant hints of nettle, pepper, tomato leaves and anise. On the palate the flavor is intense and persistent with a good aroma and a savory and gritty acidity. A versatile goblet that goes perfectly with all courses at the table and after the first sip it will take you back to the unspoiled nature on the slopes of Monte Corno.

The Pinot Noir grape variety is considered among the most noble red grape varieties in the world and also the most difficult to interpret. The origin of this vine is believed to be attributed to the French region of Burgundy. Flowers is the name chosen by the winery to represent the spearheads of the Von Blumen project. Harvested in September, the grapes are then partially de-stemmed and crushed, and left to ferment with maceration on the skins in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature, for about 20 days. Subsequently, before bottling, it is aged for 12 months in French oak tonneaux. In the glass the color is a bright ruby red. The bouquet is intense and broad on the nose, ranging from sweet nuances of red and black fruits to fragrant spicy scents. On the palate it is enveloping and complex, with a mature and long-lasting tannic texture in the mouth. A wine of exceptional drinkability and character, excellent in combination with red meat dishes, medium and long-aged cheeses and traditional main courses of South Tyrolean cuisine.
