Veltliner Cantina Valle Isarco 2024

The Veltliner is one of the most interesting whites produced by Cantina Valle Isarco. This grape variety from Central Europe, which gives extraordinary wines in Austria, has adapted very well to the cool climate and stony soils of the Valle Isarco. It is successfully cultivated in the area that rises from Chiusa towards Bressanone, a mountainous territory where it expresses itself with very fresh and fruity wines, characterized by a delicate spicy trail reminiscent of white pepper. A true excellence of Alto Adige, it is a white that combines great finesse and elegance with rich aromatic facets. The aging exclusively in steel brings the varietal characteristics of the grape to the forefront, giving a pleasant smoothness and expressive immediacy.

The Grüner Veltliner from Cantina Valle Isarco is the result of the passionate work of a group of small winemakers from the area, who in the post-war period founded a cooperative. Today Eisacktaler Kellerei is one of the most important realities in the valley and produces wines of excellent quality, with the classic white grape varieties of Alto Adige. The grapes of Grüner Veltliner come from vineyards cultivated at an altitude between 400 and 750 meters above sea level, on soils characterized by gravelly and pebbly soils of morainic and alluvial origin, which rest on a frequently outcropping bedrock. The climate is cool and breezy, with significant temperature variations, ideal for optimal, slow, and gradual grape ripening. At the end of the harvest operations, the grapes are gently pressed, and the free-run must ferments in temperature-controlled steel tanks. Before bottling, the wine rests for a few months in steel tanks.

The white Veltliner from Cantina Valle Isarco is a wine dedicated to those who love delicate scents and aromas, to those who prefer subtle finesse over aromatic exuberance. In appearance, it presents a straw-yellow color with slight greenish reflections. Elegant and refined, it stands out for an aromatic profile characterized by scents of wildflowers and mountain herbs, aromas of white-fleshed fruit and slight spicy sensations. The sip is clear and harmonious with fragrant fruit and a fresh finish, closing with notes of white pepper. It is a wine that is appreciated at the table for its versatility in pairings. It pairs very well with first courses with vegetables and slightly spicy dishes, whether based on fish or white meats. A wine to discover.
