Where it comes from

This mountain white originates from the hillside vineyards managed by Erste Neue, a reference point in Alto Adige. The altitude and unique climate conditions of the area contribute to optimal grape ripening, ensuring aromatic precision and remarkable freshness. The alpine environment gives this wine a lively character, typical of varieties grown at altitude.

How it is made

Production begins with a rigorous manual harvest, designed to select the best bunches and guarantee raw materials of excellent quality. The resulting must ferments in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature, a crucial method for preserving the clarity of aromas and the purity of flavor. Afterwards, the wine matures on its fine lees, enriching its structure and lending continuity to the palate without ever being heavy. The process concludes with bottle aging before release.

The nose reveals fine and delicate aromas, true to the typical characteristics of the grape, where aromatic clarity dominates over intensity. On the palate, there is pronounced freshness, accompanied by a light and pleasant touch of tartness that brings dynamism to the sip. The finish is clean, harmonious, and invites another taste.

The wine's naturally light aromatic profile makes it an excellent companion for various dishes. It pairs harmoniously with fish-based dishes and delicious shellfish specialties, where its freshness balances soft textures and the flavors of the sea. It is also a highly elegant choice as an aperitif wine, thanks to its agility and refreshing character. Its palate-cleansing ability makes it a reliable ally for informal yet thoughtfully prepared meals.

When to serve it

To fully enjoy its vibrant nuances and varietal energy, it is recommended to taste it within the first years of its life.
