Eisacktal Alto Adige Pinot Grigio 2023/24

Kellerei Eisacktal is known for its beautifully pure, elegant white mountain wines from Valle Isarco (Eisacktal) in Alto Adige (South Tyrol). The Pinot Grigio from this cooperative is a particularly successful interpretation of this popular Italian grape.

The grapes are harvested in vineyards at an altitude of 500 to 700 metres, with clayey soils. In this terroir, the Pinot Grigio grapes are at their best.

After the grapes are hand-picked on the steep slopes, they are gently pressed in the cellar by winemaker Hannes Munter. This is followed by fermentation at controlled temperatures in stainless steel tanks, to ensure a juicy, fruity wine. After a short maturation on the yeasts, the wine is bottled.

The Pinot Grigio is a beautifully pure, invigoratingly fresh white wine, with a subtle aroma of peach and green herbs and a full flavour with juicy acids and almond in the aftertaste. A delicious wine to drink as such or to combine with many dishes, such as insalata caprese, risotto primavera or pasta with smoked chicken.
