Pipa XX vino liquoroso...
PIPA<br />PIPA is the exotic wine in our range. PIPA is a fortified wine - vino liquoroso, inspired by port wine. This first South Tyrolean 'port' is vinified from Lagrein grapes and is a<br />long-lasting and complex dessert wine produced along the lines of a vintage Ruby. The name 'PIPA' comes from the typical oak barrels in which the port wine is stored in<br />Portugal. 'After a trip to the Douro Valley in Portugal, I wanted to try my hand at making a port wine myself: I wanted to capture and preserve the typical cherry notes of the<br />Lagrein during fermentation. After several experiments, I was able to refine and perfect the process.' FranzGojer<br /><br />Site: Auer: Stony alluvial soil of the Etsch river. The warm porphyry is ideal for the grape variety. Guyot cultivation with 5,000 vines per hectare.<br /><br />Vinification: Hand harvest and gentle processing. Cold maceration and fermentation in open oak vats with light toasting. Intensive extraction by continuous immersion of the<br />marc cap in the must. Addition of brandy to the fermenting must to kill the yeasts and stop fermentation. Ageing in PIPA oak barrels for 6 months. Bottling and ageing in<br />bottle.<br /><br />Sensory characteristics: Intense garnet red with violet nuances. Smells wonderfully and intensely of fully ripe cherries and wild berries, Full-bodied and fine in the mouth. The<br />strong tannin and the juicy acidity act as an ideal counterpart to the sweetness and thus form a complex taste picture. The long, fruity finish flatters the palate. Suitable for<br />chocolate desserts of all kinds, the more intense and noble the chocolate, the better the combination.<br />

Magnum Alie rosè Ammiraglia...
Alìe, a figure from Greek mythology, one of the sea nymphs, symbol of sensuality and beauty. Alìe, an elegant Rosé with a clear, pure colour and soft ruby reflections. A<br />refined balance between Syrah and Vermentino, which find their maximum expression in their proximity to the sea. Aromas of white flowers, wild strawberries and citrus peel<br />blend in a delicate structure with hints of minerality typical of the terroir, giving a long, rich finish. Enchanting from aperitifs to meals and in good company.<br /><br />Climatic trend<br />Winter 2021/2022 was characterised by good rainfall, as was spring 2022. This situation resulted in a proper water supply of the subsoil. Sprouting took place a few days<br />later than normal, but rising temperatures led to regular vegetative development. Summer days with above-average temperatures led to splendid ripening of the Syrah and<br />Vermentino grapes. As a result, the aromatic development was magnificent. The sun and the refreshing sea breezes were the perfect companions during the harvest period;<br />both allowed the vines to achieve a compositional balance that is an expression of this microclimate. The most genuinely Mediterranean expression of Tuscany.<br /><br />Technical notes<br />Varieties: Syrah, Vermentino<br />Alcoholic degree: 12%.<br />Maturation: 3 months in steel tanks<br /><br />Vinification and maturation<br />The secret of Alìe lies in the combination of territorial characteristics, vineyard management and, of course, the human factor. The grapes, once harvested, were transported<br />to the cellar in a short time in order not to spoil or damage the bunches. One of the highlights of the Alìe production was the pressing phase. The bunches, whole and in the<br />absence of oxygen, were loaded into the press. The pressures applied during this phase were extremely soft and gentle; this process, together with the careful selection of<br />the musts and their subsequent decanting for no less than 12 hours, allowed the distinctive characteristics of this seductive rosé to be enhanced. Fermentation took place in<br />stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of less than 19° C. After maturing for a few months on fine lees, subsequently including a period of bottle ageing, Alìe 2022<br />was as persuasive and fascinating as its custom.<br /><br /><br />Tasting notes<br />Alìe 2022 has a splendid soft pink colour. On the nose, its fruitiness is particularly varied: citrus notes of cedar and bergamot, ripe peach and white fruits. This is followed by<br />the floral soul of Alìe dominated by iris, orange blossom and peony. The long bouquet continues with clear hints of iodine and aromatic herbs such as thyme, rosemary and<br />sage. The taste-olfactory response is remarkable and precise, characterised by freshness and savouriness. Alìe is a rich, silky, smooth and satisfying wine.<br />

Cabernet 'Istrice' Elena...
Cabernet 'Istrice' 2020<br />South Tyrol DOC<br /><br />Cabernet 'Istrice' was Elena Walch's first red wine. At that time consisting of a predominant proportion of Cabernet Franc and only a little Cabernet Sauvignon, the wine<br />showed 'its spines', just like the little hedgehogs in the park of the family winery. Today, the percentage of 'Istrice' has exactly reversed with 90% Cabernet Sauvignon and<br />about 10% Cabernet Franc. Although it shows less of its spines, it has gained in elegance and finesse and continues to be one of the favourites at Walch.<br /><br />'The Cabernet 'Istrice' captivates with a strong intense ruby red and with stimulating fruity aromas in the nose, with red forest berries and heart cherries as well as seductive<br />spice with white pepper and chocolate. On the palate, the wine surprises with refreshing richness and structure, with elegant, precise tannins and fruity-spicy density, as<br />well as a long, juicy finish.'<br /><br />LESE 2020<br />Spring 2020, with its beautiful weather and warm temperatures, spring flowers in the garden and thick blanket of fresh snow on the mountains, led to the relatively early<br />development of the vines, which settled down again with the cooler temperatures in June. After a warm midsummer, the harvest started in the first days of September. The<br />autumn was characterised by warm days and cool nights, but also by some freak weather, whereby the careful cultivation of the vineyards in early summer was noticeable.<br />The 2020 vintage resulted in wines of great South Tyrolean typicity: The young white wines stand out with fresh liveliness and clear aromatic expression, the red wines show<br />very good structure and straight, fine fruit.<br /><br />VINIFICATION<br />Traditional maceration of about 10 days in steel tanks. Followed by malolactic fermentation in wooden barrels. Maturation in French barriques for a period of 12 months.<br />Subsequent filling and long bottle ageing.<br /><br />Alcohol: 14,00% Vol.<br />Denomination: South Tyrol DOC<br />Total acidity: 5,3 g/L<br />Residual sugar: 2,6 g/L<br />Shelf life: 8-10 years<br />

Blauburgunder DOC 750ml...
Pinot Nero 2022<br />South Tyrol DOC<br /><br />VINEYARDS: 100% Pinot Noir<br /><br />VINIFICATION: Traditional maceration for 10 days at controlled temperature in steel barrels. Subsequent malolactic fermentation and ageing in medium French oak barrels<br />(22hl) and partly in steel tanks.<br /><br />DEGUSTATION: The Pinot Noir Elena Walch presents itself with a clear, fresh ruby red. A fruity play of aromas with red berries, cherries and raspberries as well as spicy<br />notes with some white pepper characterise the nose. On the palate, the wine convinces with a juicy structure and inviting freshness, with soft, velvety tannins, discreet spice<br />in the background as well as a youthfully elegant finish.<br /><br />TERROIR: An interesting combination of vineyards in fresher sites between 400m a.s.l. up to 600m a.s.l.. Limestone and porphyry soils in south-eastern and south-western<br />exposure. Harvested and selected by hand with the utmost care.<br /><br />LESE 2022: An excellent vintage 2022 awaits you! Thanks to the warm, stable summer, grapes of the very best health and with balanced values have reached our cellar.<br />The 2022 wine year started with a warm spring, which led to an early start of flowering. The following summer was consistently dry and warm, and hot in mid-summer. The<br />drought did not lead to any problems, not least thanks to our irrigation systems and meteostations in the vineyard. The warm summer months resulted in very healthy<br />grapes of very good quality and ripeness. The acidity levels were somewhat lower due to the vintage, but well balanced and were supported by targeted foliage work in the<br />summer, as well as a somewhat earlier harvest. The first grapes were harvested at the end of August - as always completely by hand. Overall, the wines are complex, with<br />great structure and very good fruit.<br /><br />Serving Suggestions: With hearty dishes such as game, dark meat and piquant cheeses.<br /><br />Denomination: South Tyrol DOC<br />Alcohol: 13,00 % Vol.<br />Total acidity: 5.2 g/L<br />Residual sugar: 1.4 g/L<br />
