Il Conte 2021 BIO MANINCOR...
A wine which tastes of Manincor; truly unique. The essence of the hills around the wine estate and the lake, full of vigour and warmth.<br /><br />Grape varieties<br />Lagrein 48 %, Merlot 35 %, Cabernet 17 %<br /><br />Location & soil<br />The Manincor estate and the Panholzerhof, both sites are south-east facing overlooking the Lake of Kaltern at an altitude of 250 m above sea level; soils are rich<br />comprising sand and clay mixed with limestone gravel and other morainal deposits. These vineyards are among the warmest in all South Tyrol, pre-destined for the<br />production of great red wines.<br /><br />Vintage<br />2021 was a relatively late year. The harvest began on September 13 with Sauvignon Blanc in Lieben Aich and ended on October 20 with Cabernet Sauvignon in Manincor.<br />The ripening period in particular was char-acterised by almost perfect weather, with sunny days and clear nights where it cooled down properly. So, the year 2021 is all<br />about balance. Physiological ripeness, sugar ripeness and acidity are in an optimal balance. Ripe fruit, cool character and moderate alcohol char-acterise the vintage.<br />From end of September to mid of October we were able to harvest our Merlot, Lagrein and Cabernet Franc one after the other with perfect timing. The yield was 59 hl per<br />hectare.<br /><br />Expansion<br />Grapes from each parcel of vineyard were crushed separately and fermented in a mixture of oak and cement vats and stainless steel tanks using yeasts occurring naturally<br />in the vineyard. Skin contact lasted ten days and was rigorously controlled, during which time the cap of skins was pushed down into the fermenting liquid daily as it rose to<br />the surface in order to extract velvety, assertive but ripe tannins. Fresh fruit and elegance are the main qualities we strive for in this wine. The young wine was transferred<br />into oak barrels of varying sizes where it matured for twelve months.<br /><br />Data<br />Residual sugar: 1.2 g/l<br />Alcohol: 13 % Vol.<br />Acidity: malolactic fermentation; 5.6 g/l<br /><br />Description & drinking recommendation<br />Concentrated bright ruby. A rich, seductive berry fruit and spice nose leads to a remarkably succulent, well-structured palate of white and black pepper, dark chocolate,<br />liquorice and damson with silky-textured tannins. Almost Burgundian in its drinkability.<br />Enjoy at optimum maturity from 2023 to the end of 2028.<br />Serve: just below room temperature, 60 - 64 °F<br />Delicious to accompany well-seasoned Mediterranean first courses, peppered lamb steaks and other dishes of fried or grilled red meat.<br /><br />Our claim<br />Biodynamic<br />Vegan<br />

EPOKALE Südt....
Epokale was the first Italian white wine to be awarded 100 points by Robert Parker's Wine Advocate. This wine contradicts the classic idea of a South Tyrolean<br />Gewürztraminer, redefines boundaries and impressively shows what this great variety is capable of.<br />Mild temperatures in spring brought about an early start of vegetation. The summer months were decidedly sunny and dry. Cool nights ensured that the physiological<br />ripeness could nevertheless develop in a balanced way. Thanks to a cool September, the ripening process was delayed so that an excellent harvest with optimally ripened<br />grapes took place. The elegant white wines show a pronounced juiciness, variety of aromas and depth, the intense reds offer plenty of fruit and character.<br /><br />Grape variety: Gewürztraminer<br />Yield: 29 hl/hectare<br />Altitude: 420 - 440 m<br />Exposure: south-east<br />Harvest: End of October<br />Soil: calcareous gravel with clay soil, subsoil rocks of porphyry<br />Age of the vines: oldest Guyot stock, from over 20 years to almost 30 years old<br />Climate: extreme interplay between sunny days dominated by the Mediterranean climate and night hours dominated by cold downdrafts from the surrounding mountains<br />

Trento DOC Altemasi Brut...
Altemasi Rosé<br />TRENTO DOC METODO CLASSICO Altemasi Rosé represents a harmonious union between the elegance of Chardonnay and the structure of Pinot Noir, for a refined<br />bouquet of small fruits.<br /><br />Area of production: The wines of this important cuvée come from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes harvested in the high hillside vineyards around Trento and on the<br />Brentonico plateau at altitudes between 450 and 600 m above sea level, facing south and southwest. The Chardonnay is grown on soils that are mainly of fluvial-glacial<br />origin, of medium depth, tend to be calcareous and rich in skeleton. The soils chosen for the Pinot Noir are of volcanic origin, originating on the basalt of the Brentonico<br />plateau, with a medium texture and well structured.<br />Vinification and refinement:The grapes are harvested by hand and delivered in crates to the cellars where vinification takes place. Only the whole Chardonnay berries are<br />slowly pressed to separate the different fractions of must which, inoculated with selected yeasts, ferments at controlled temperatures in stainless steel tanks. The wine<br />from Pinot Noir is made using the 'submerged cap' system, which consists of leaving the must in contact with the skins until the first signs of fermentation begin; then only<br />the must is separated and fermentation continues in stainless steel at a controlled temperature. This allows us to obtain a soft, delicate colour from the skins, a distinctive<br />feature of Cavit's Trentodoc rosé. Foaming in the bottle takes place the following spring and the wine remains on the lees for at least 15 months. On disgorging, a small<br />amount of 'liqueur d'expédition' is added.<br />Analytical data:<br />Alcohol: 12.50% vol.<br />Total acidity: 6 g/l<br />Net dry extract: 22 g/l<br />Residual sugars: 7 g/l<br />Contains sulphites<br />Tasting notes: A Classical Method sparkling wine, pale pink in colour with light copper highlights, creamy white mousse, fine and persistent perlage, complex bouquet with<br />fruity notes reminiscent of ripe cherries, redcurrants and red apples, a rich, well-balanced flavour with a very persistent aftertaste.Serving suggestions: Suitable as an aperitif,<br />but especially at table with soups and main courses of white meat or game.<br />Serving temperature: 8-10 °C<br />
