I Frati<br />Lugana Doc<br /><br />The wine that has made the company's image known and continues to do so. It has a direct link with its variety, Turbiana, our indigenous vine. Conceived to be consumed<br />during the year, it expresses its best side many years after bottling. In its youth it is fresh, linear and endowed with great finesse and elegance with delicate notes of white<br />flowers and balsamic, hints of apricot and almond. Time allows it to evolve, expressing its mineral notes with greater determination. The wine acquires its own complexity<br />with hints of iodine, spices and candied fruit. In the mouth it is capable of enveloping the whole palate thanks to an important savoury essence accompanied by lively and<br />exuberant acidity. When young, it is best served at a temperature of around 10 degrees, with cold or warm but delicate hors d'oeuvres and with boiled, steamed or grilled fish<br />dishes.<br />Technical data<br /><br />Grape varieties used: Turbiana 100%.<br />Soil composition: calcareous - clayey<br />Training system: Simple and double Guyot<br />Planting system: 2.30 x 0.70<br />Yield per hectare: 90 quintals<br />Type of vinification: steel<br />Malolactic: Not carried out<br />Ageing and development: in steel on fine lees for a minimum of 6 months, followed by 2 months in bottle<br />Alcohol content: 13%.<br />Total acidity: 6.40 g/L<br />Volatile acidity: 0.30 g/L<br />pH: 3.20<br />Dry extract: 21 g/L<br />

Chardonnay 'Cardellino' 2022<br />South Tyrol DOC<br /><br />The Chardonnay 'Cardellino' was the first wine of Elena Walch and is still probably the most popular wine of the winery. According to an old tale, the goldfinch - the<br />'Cardellino' - builds its nest only in Chardonnay vines, while it does not nest in other grape varieties. To this faithful little bird Elena Walch has thus dedicated her debut, an<br />elegant and characterful Chardonnay, which has won many lovers with minerality, freshness, coupled with suppleness and excellent structure. The Chardonnay 'Cardellino'<br />has long become a classic of South Tyrol and continues to be the most popular wine at the table of the Walch family. A wine to which one remains faithful, just as the<br />Cardellino remains faithful to its Chardonnay.<br />The Chardonnay 'Cardellino' convinces with a strong, straw-yellow color, with a complex play of fruity aromas, citrus and orange peel, some lime blossom, mineral richness<br />and a spicy hint of tobacco. On the palate, this classic from Elena Walch surprises with exciting freshness and mineral race, with elegance and juicy length: inviting,<br />refreshing and easy to drink.<br /><br />COURSE OF THE VINTAGE 2022<br />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. The 2022<br />vintage began 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 drought did not<br />lead to any problems, not least thanks to our irrigation systems and meteostations in the vineyard. The warm summer months resulted in very healthy grapes of very good<br />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 summer, as well as a<br />somewhat earlier harvest. The first grapes were harvested at the end of August - as always completely by hand. Overall, the wines are complex, with great structure and very<br />good fruit.<br /><br />VINIFICATION Gentle pressing, static clarification, fermentation at a controlled temperature of about 20°C, long contact with the yeast after fermentation. Part of the must<br />(about 15%) is fermented in French oak barrels where it matures for six months. The assemblage takes place in spring.<br /><br />Alcohol: 13,50% Vol.<br />Total acidity: 6.5 g/L<br />Residual sugar: 0,3 g/L<br />Grape variety: 100% Chardonnay<br />

The grapes for this prestigious Sylvaner come from the sun-drenched vineyards around the Säben monastery, the 'Acropolis of Tyrol'. The strict selection, the<br />uncompromising yield reduction and the gentle vinification in acacia wood barrels give this wine its unmistakable character.<br /><br />The wine<br />Vintage<br />2021<br />Grape variety<br />Sylvaner<br />Growing altitude<br />550 - 700 m<br />Soil: mineral-rich, poor, stony diorite and quartz phyllite weathered soils<br />Vinification: The grapes are exclusively harvested by hand.

Brolettino<br />Lugana Doc<br /><br />This is the wine of our great native vine: the Turbiana.<br />Grapes harvested when fully ripe in mid-October and a soil of great talent give us a structured product with a great capacity for ageing.<br />On the palate, it shows all its complexity.<br />The nose reveals hints of ripe fruit, peaches, yellow apples, fleshy roses with fresh and balsamic notes.<br />The palate is enveloped by a decisive attack while maintaining all its freshness and elegance.<br />The full structure is accompanied by a taut acidity and characteristic savouriness that completely cleanse the palate, leaving it flooded with delicate aromas.<br />Ideal for winter soups, legumes and pasta with white sauces, white meats and poultry, medium mature cheeses, fish in long and rich cooking and shellfish.<br />Technical data<br /><br />Grape varieties used: Turbiana 100%.<br />Soil composition: calcareous - clayey<br />Training system: Simple and double Guyot<br />Planting system: 2.30 x 0.70<br />Yield per hectare: 90 quintals<br />Type of vinification: beginning in steel, completion in barriques<br />Malolactic fermentation: in barriques<br />Ageing and development: in barrique for 10 months, followed by 3 months in bottle<br />Alcohol content: 13.5%.<br />Total acidity: 6.60 g/L<br />Volatile acidity: 0.30 g/L<br />pH: 3.25<br />Dry extract: 22.5 g/L<br />

<br />Pratto<br /><br />Pratto represents a challenge that we wanted to take up, going beyond conventional schemes while maintaining unaltered respect for the territory. In this late harvest, the<br />aromaticity of Sauvignon vinified in stainless steel, the softness of Chardonnay and the finesse of Turbiana meet harmoniously with an exclusive result. The nose shows<br />notes of tropical fruit accompanied by a vegetality and minerality that enhance the finesse and elegance with a very communicative impact that induces salivation stimulating<br />the taste. On the palate it is rich with an exquisitely sweet attack followed by perfectly balanced acidity and flavour, and finally the fruity and mineral notes return. Ideal with<br />structured starters such as crostini with foie gras and also with delicate but richly flavoured first courses, light and white meats and fish with aromatic herbs.<br />Perfect with mature cheeses.<br />Technical data<br /><br />Grape varieties used: Turbiana, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc<br />Soil composition: calcareous - clayey<br />Training system: Guyot and spurred cordon<br />Planting system: 2.30 x 0.70<br />Yield per hectare: 80 quintals<br />Type of vinification: Steel<br />Malo/actic: Not carried out<br />Ageing and development: In steel on fine lees 12 months, followed by two months in bottle<br />Alcohol content: 13.5%.<br />Total acidity: 6.60 g/L<br />Volatile acidity: 0.35 g/L<br />pH: 3.10<br />Dry extract: 21.5 g/L<br />

Description follows

Pomino Bianco Riserva DOC<br /><br />'On the road to Pomino I am thrilled every time I discover this unique corner of Tuscany: hills and cypresses suddenly give way to steep slopes, cooler temperatures in<br />summer and snow in winter, magnificent forests of firs and centuries-old sequoias surrounding the vineyards of Chardonnay, planted here since 1855. At an altitude of 700<br />metres, the Cru Benefizio, the first white wine in Italy fermented and aged in barriques, was born in 1973.'<br /><br />Climatic trend<br />The 2021 season will be remembered as a dynamic vintage. After a rainy and mild winter, which had led to a slight advance in budding, temperatures dropped sharply at the<br />beginning of April, slightly slowing the growth of the buds. From May onwards, temperatures began to rise again, leading to a summer that will be remembered for both the<br />beautiful day-night temperature range and the long period of intense heat. The grapes presented themselves at harvest in a perfect state of health, thanks to the mild<br />temperatures and low humidity.<br /><br />Vinification and ripening<br />The Benefizio vineyard is located at an altitude of 700 m above sea level, with a southern exposure and predominantly sandy soil. The Chardonnay grapes were harvested in<br />boxes by hand with extreme care and attention. Once they arrived in the cellar, the pressing they underwent was extremely soft and gentle, allowing a good extraction of<br />clear must, which was further clarified after cold decantation. The musts thus obtained were placed in barriques, 50% new and 50% first-passage, where they underwent<br />alcoholic fermentation and only partially malolactic fermentation. Subsequently, the wine matured in wood, on the lees, with bâtonnage carried out as required. After further<br />bottle ageing, Benefizio Riserva reached its maximum taste-olfactory expression in terms of elegance and harmony.<br /><br />Tasting notes<br />Elegance, expressiveness and body. Benefizio 2021 presents a wonderful straw yellow colour with golden highlights. The bouquet is varied, presenting hints of white fruit<br />such as pear, exotic fruit notes such as mango, banana and pineapple and more citrus notes of candied citron. The citrus sensation is also picked up by hints of orange<br />blossom. On the palate it is savoury and mineral, with an elegant and harmonious finish; the aromatic intensity perceived on the palate is amplified by the alcohol content<br />and the aftertaste of dried fruit. Persistent and long finish.<br />
