Italy's most awarded Gewürztraminer is the epitome of the elegance and aroma of this ancient grape variety. A long winter postponed the spring awakening of the vines until the beginning of April. The bud break was followed by further cooling, which delayed full flowering. Things continued to be turbulent with a warm June and a wet July, which prepared the soil ideally for the beginning of ripening. Dry weeks in August with exceptionally low night temperatures and a sunny autumn ensured picture-perfect weather. There were brief periods of rain at the end of September and beginning of October, but many warm days and increasingly cooler nights dominated the harvest season. This started around 10 days later than the usual annual average and also produced significantly lower quantities. The profound white wines of 2021 impress with their pronounced freshness and particularly fine fruit aromas, while the concentrated red wines impress with a ripe tannin structure and fresh fruit body. Color: bright, intense golden yellow. Smell: Reveals a kaleidoscope of scents: rose petals, spicy lily flowers, ylang ylang, tiare, ripe yellow exotic fruits, honeydew melon, mango, passion fruit, lychee, citrus zest as well as spicy notes of dried herbs, ginger, saffron, cloves, cinnamon and nutmeg . Taste: Deep aromatic, full-bodied and rich in extracts, but with delicately spicy juiciness and salty minerality that becomes more pronounced with age; almost infinitely long finish.
