This Müller Thurgau Superiore comes from the tenacity of our winemakers in the Val di Cembra. The selected vineyards are located on the steep slopes of Giovo, between 650 and 750 m and well exposed to the southwest. The soils of calcareous origin give an elegant minerality well integrated with the floral scents of the grapes and the aromas generated by the yeast during the fermentation and the 6-month refinement. The grapes are harvested in late September, subjected to cold maceration for 5-8 hours and then pressed. The must, after natural cold decantation, is fermented at a low temperature. Once fermentation is complete, the wine spends the autumn and winter on its lees until it is bottled.
The Teroldego vine is a native variety of Trentino and finds its ideal development environment in the Piana Rotaliana. The word "Teroldego" seems to derive from "Tiroler Gold" (gold of Tyrol), the name by which this wine was indicated at the Court of Vienna during the Austro-Hungarian empire; from this denomination “Tiroldico” would later derive and later, Teroldego. Among the Trentino red wines it is the most renowned, so much so that it is defined as the "prince wine of Trentino". The Riserva di Teroldego is produced only in great vintages from carefully selected grapes by hand in the most suitable areas of the Piana Rotaliana: "Fron", "Rauti", "Camorzi" and "Sottodossi". The grapes are pressed with separation of the stalks. The seeds are partially removed, followed by maceration on the skins with frequent pumping over and fermentation at a controlled temperature of around 25°C for 12-13 days. Minimum 24 months of maturation, of which 12 in precious oak wood (Allier and Troncais) followed by refinement in the bottle.
A native vine from Trentino Alto Adige, it has been cultivated in the Dolomite mountains since the 15th century where it has adapted perfectly. Over the centuries this vine has given rise to two different biotypes due to the different shape and size of the bunch: Lagrein with a short cluster and Lagrein with a long cluster. From the selection of the best short-cluster Lagrein vineyards cultivated along the Adige river valley, we produce this rich and powerful red. The Lagrein vineyards are cultivated on the hills at 200-400m along the Adige river valley using only the simple pergola: this guarantees excellent exposure of the bunches to the sun, guaranteeing excellent aromatic and polyphenolic ripeness without the risk of burning the berries. When the grapes reach perfect ripeness, they are harvested and selected by hand around the second week of October.The grapes are vinified according to the classic technique of red vinification, at a temperature of 26 ° C for 12-13 days with the addition of selected yeasts . This is followed by aging in wood for 10 months in French oak barriques with 3 years of aging and light toasting. Finally, another 12 months of aging are needed between steel and bottle.
