It originates from Alto Adige, the ideal terroir for the Gewürztraminer grape, where marked temperature variations and mineral soils favor aromatic concentration and expressive precision. The grapes are harvested when fully ripe to enhance the varietal intensity while maintaining balance and flavor tension.
Sensory Characteristics
Color: Intense straw yellow with golden reflections, bright and consistent in the glass.
Nose: Ample, aromatic, and layered. Notes of rose hips, rose petals**, lychee, ripe tropical fruit (mango, pineapple), hints of candied citrus, and sweet spices emerge. A light mineral note is perceived on the finish.
Palate: On the palate, it is structured, smooth, and enveloping, with a well-integrated alcohol component. The freshness balances the natural aromatic richness of the grape variety, while the savory character enhances the drinkability. The finish is long, persistent, and consistent with the aromas, with floral and spicy aftertastes.
Food Pairings
Excellent with spicy Asian cuisine (Thai, Indian) and shellfish and seafood dishes. It also pairs well with blue or aged cheeses, foie gras, and traditional, lightly spiced South Tyrolean dishes.
