Pinot Grigio "kunst.stück" DOC 2019 MAGNUM Kaltern Winery

Pinot Grigio "kunst.stück" DOC 2019 MAGNUM

Origin: Italy, South Tyrol, Tramin - Söll fraction, at 300 metres above sea level.

Producer: Kaltern Winery

Grape variety: 100% Pinot Gris, dry, yield 50 hl/ha

The vines, which are over 30 years old, produced particularly high-quality grapes in 2019. This is thanks to the warm microclimate, which gives the vines warm days but cool nights. These strong temperature fluctuations, which are caused by the nightly thermal inversions, give the wine both ripeness and freshness

Soil: Glacial moraine soils with very good drainage

2019vintage:

The weather conditions made the 2019 vintage a challenge for our winegrowers. A relatively mild winter and early spring were followed by a wet and cool April and May. After flowering, which did not take place until June, the weather situation changed and it became hot and dry. Late summer delayed the ripening of the grapes with some rainfall and below-average temperatures.

Vinification: The cold maceration of the destemmed grapes in the press lasts one day. The cloudy must then ferments at a controlled temperature of 18C° in large oak barrels. Maturation on the fine lees in 30 hl oak barrels lasts 24 months and gives the wine complexity. Bottled in summer 2021 with light filtration. The following year in the bottle ensures the perfect balance of this Pinot Grigio.

Tasting notes:

Bright yellow colour; freshness, elegance and minerality combine with salty, spicy and ripe notes. The sweet notes of wood complete the bouquet; the well-integrated acidity, the full-bodied flavour, the fruit and the long finish complement each other and form an intense and well-rounded balance.

The savoury and spicy notes of this Pinot Grigio go perfectly with vegetarian dishes. The sweetness of the wood also encourages more daring combinations such as smoked fish or light meat dishes. An adaptable white wine that can also accompany a whole meal.
