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 />

Grape variety: 100% Chardonnay.<br /><br />Vinification: Selection of grapes, chilling and soft pressing of 7 crus, fermentation in 300 L French oak barrels and ageing 'sur lies' for 12 months, with weekly bâtonnages.<br />Barriques used 50% new and 50% second passage. Bottle-ageing for 12 months.<br /><br />Sensory notes: straw yellow with golden reflections. Intense and complex on the nose, with aromas of white fruit, hazelnut, vanilla, banana and candied citron and mineral<br />and spicy nuances. The palate is dense and rich, with an elegant and harmonious finish.<br /><br />Serving temperature: 13/15 °C<br /><br />Pairings: foie gras, tagliolini with truffles, fillet in a hazelnut crust, fondue from Valle d'Aosta.<br /><br />Curiosity: Our Chardonnay Cuvée Bois at the top of national and international quality is recognised for its elegance and style. The noble tannins from the selected precious<br />woods, the sur lies refinement and the repeated bâtonnages give it ample complexity and remarkable balance.<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.

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 />
