Gewurztraminer Sudtirol Aristos DOC 2022 - Isarco

Gewürztraminer "Aristos" - Cantina Valle Isarco: Intense Aromas and Refined Spices

The Gewürztraminer "Aristos" by Cantina Valle Isarco is an aromatic white wine with a bold personality, made from grapes grown at 550-650 meters above sea level on deep alluvial soils, rich in gravel and skeletal deposits with diorite presence. This terroir enhances the wine’s remarkable aromatic intensity and structure.

Hand harvesting ensures a meticulous grape selection. After a short cold maceration and gentle pressing, fermentation takes place under controlled temperatures. The wine then matures for 10 months on fine lees, both in stainless steel tanks and large wooden barrels, developing great complexity and depth.

Winery Valle Isarco

The Valle Isarco winery is the youngest and smallest cooperative winery in South Tyrol and the northernmost in Italy. Their philosophy is to produce wines rich in minerality, fruitiness and uncompromising elegance. The vines grow on terraces between 250 and 1,000 meters above sea level, this means that the work is tiring and often only manual. However, working in harmony with nature and respecting scarce natural resources is crucial. Thanks to the altitude and the late harvest, the vines can take advantage of many autumn days with still high daytime temperatures and cool nights, optimal conditions for obtaining fresh, fruity and mineral wines. The winery is famous for its excellent Sylvaner, Kerner, Müller Thurgau and Grüner Veltliner and are recognizable thanks to their stylistic profile and unmistakable acidity structure and their extremely marked typicity. Quality is fundamental for the Valle Isarco winery and knows no compromises.
