Notes from the Winemaker:
Sylvaner is an ancient variety that has long been grown in Central Europe, in Transylvania. DNA fingerprinting has revealed it to be a cross between Traminer and the “hunnic†variety Österreichisch-Weiß (meaning “Austrian Whiteâ€). It was introduced in Alto Adige in the early 18th Century and it is produced exclusively in Valle d’Isarco, where it gained the DOC appellation in 1975.
Tasting Notes:
Color: Bright straw-yellow.
Bouquet: Elegant nose characterized by fresh aromas of tropical fruit, pineapple and banana, together with hints of exotic herbs, lemon verbena and flowers.
Flavor: The palate is dry, crispy, full, with a persistent, pure and refined finish.
Pairings: Pairs well with appetizers, asparagus recipes, grilled or boiled fish, snails. Excellent with the typical German country dishes with Speck, knödel, frittata and soups.
Vinification: Fermentation in stainless steel tanks.
