Vintage: 2020<br /><br />Classification: South Tyrol DOC Cultivation area<br /><br />'Gschleier' is certainly one of the most renowned wine-growing areas in South Tyrol. Our vines are in fact between 80 and 110 years old, a uniqueness in South Tyrolean<br />viticulture. They grow at 450 metres above sea level on soils of calcareous, loamy and gravelly nature. Thanks to the location and the exposure of the slope, optimal sun<br />exposure is guaranteed, which, together with the characteristics of the soil, produce a full-bodied wine with a longer storage life.<br /><br />Vinification and ageing: The grapes are harvested by hand and delivered in small containers. After destemming, the must is gravity-fed into steel vats where fermentation<br />takes place (15-20 days). After malolactic fermentation, the wine is matured for 9 months in large wooden barrels. The wine is aged in bottle for a further 6 months.<br /><br />Wine portrait: unique Vernatsch! Elegant, full-bodied with fruity tannins, accompanied by excellent flavour.
