TAL 1930. Passion and patience were the perfect foundations for our first Superior cuvées. A lot of energy and experience, knowledge and commitment went into them. They are the result of years of unceasing research, of tireless experimentation by our winemakers and cellar master to compose the best grapes into a unique pleasure experience.
This new Superior white wine recalls the beginnings of the Santa Maddalena Winery in 1930: a year, a number, of special significance for the history of wine-growing in Alto Adige - and for the Bolzano Winery.
The contrast between mountain and valley, Alpine and Mediterranean, determines the character of the cuvée. The vineyards for our white varieties, Chardonnay, Sauvignon and Pinot Grigio, are located between the valley bottom and the slopes, sometimes gentle, sometimes steep, of the famous Renon near Bolzano. There is considerable variation in the sites at 400 - 700 meters above sea level, with changes in exposure and significant differences in temperature created by the sun of the Dolomites and the winds - strong at times - of the Isarco Valley.
