Trentino DOC Gewürztraminer 2024 Bonconsey

What kind of wine is it?

Gewürztraminer di Bonconsey is a white wine produced in Trentino from Gewürztraminer grapes. It stands out for its elegant aromatic profile, with a solid mineral structure and a marked persistence, maintaining a crisp and well-defined style. The winemaking process involves brief skin maceration and low-temperature fermentations, aimed at preserving the varietal aromas, while a small part of the must ferments in barrique. Subsequent aging on fine lees completes the balance of the structure before final bottling.

Where it comes from

This white is born in Trentino, in a region historically tied to the episcopal culture and the most important castle in the area. The grapes come from stony and well-drained soils, an essential environmental factor that promotes regular ripening and contributes to a tense, precise taste profile. The combination of well-drained soils and choices aimed at aromatic preservation leads the production toward a clean expression of the varietal features, combining olfactory intensity with smoothness.

How it is made

After harvest, the grapes undergo a short maceration, useful for extracting typical components without excess. The subsequent fermentation takes place at low temperatures, a vital technique for protecting the Gewürztraminer’s aromatic complexity and maintaining clearly defined aromas. A small portion of the must ferments in barrique, introducing a subtle structural element, followed by several weeks aging on fine lees to support stability prior to bottling.
