This Gewürztraminer is a selection from a vineyard on the Kolbenhof estate in Tramin - Termeno. Thanks to the particular microclimate, the ideal position and the age of the vineyards, it represents one of the great Crus of Alto Adige Gewürztraminer. The vine bears the name of its country of origin and - precisely at Kolbenhof - finds the ideal conditions to develop the best sides of its character.
Only the designation "Vigna" guarantees in Alto Adige that a wine originates from a specific vineyard.
THE WINE:
A Gewürztraminer with an elegant fruity concentration. In the glass, it has an intense yellow color with "young" greenish reflections. Aromas, especially of peaches and apricots, intertwine with exotic scents of lychees, mango and passion fruit. On the palate, its flavors are enhanced without losing refinement, thanks to a balanced acidity that prevents the wine from being too full-bodied, despite the evident concentration. A Gewürztraminer that convinces: it is persistent and elegantly expresses the typical characteristics of the grape variety.
VINIFICATION AND MATURATION:
The bunches are lightly pressed and the must is left in contact with the skins for a few hours to enhance the varietal characteristics. After a soft pressing and sedimentation of the must, it ferments at a controlled temperature. After fermentation, the Vigna Kolbenhof Gewürztraminer ages for 8 months on the fine yeasts, which are delicately stirred weekly.
FOOD PAIRING:
Perfect to taste even on its own, it finds its optimal pairing with shellfish, in fish preparations of a certain structure, with foie gras and is ideal with Thai cuisine.
