Cuvée Bianco "NAMA" 2018 Nals Margreid
Description
Cuvée Bianco "NAMA" South Tyrol DOC
Origin: Italy, South Tyrol, 2 single vineyards Etschtal and Unterland: Nals and Margreid
Producer: Nals Margreid
Grape variety: 90% Chardonnay, 7% Pinot Blanc, 3% Sauvignon Blanc, hand-picked, dry, 30 - 40 year old vines
Soil: Adige Valley: limestone & porphyry gravel | Margreid: limestone gravel, lots of humus
Ageing: 18 months on the lees in small wood, merging of the grape musts, further ageing for 9 months on the lees in steel tanks and 12 months bottle ageing
The combination of these three grape varieties results in a great wine: Chardonnay brings the power, timelessness and length, Pinot Blanc stands for regionality and rootedness in the soil and homeland and Sauvignon Blanc brings the flavour.
Highly elegant white wine with a broad aroma profile: lots of yellow fruit of apple, pear and honeydew melon, followed by elegant acacia blossom and spicy notes of almond and ginger, structure on the palate, dense and gripping, absolutely exciting with a fantastic finish.
